What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain controversial, and we do not know which factors are important for successful outcomes. This study aimed to compare the mid-term outcomes of different conceptual designs by evaluating the radiological and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 478 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were enrolled and allocated into groups I [posterior stabilizing (PS) with anterior referencing (AR)], II [PS with posterior referencing (PR), and III [ultra-congruent (UC) TKA)]. Preoperative findings, last follow-up clinical outcomes, and final follow-up radiological and indirect assessments of the femoral rollback were compared between the groups.
resultsThe mean follow-up period was 72.6 ± 12.9 months. The tourniquet was used samely applied to every group. Flexion contracture was significantly larger in group III than in groups I and II (3.3 ± 2.7, p < 0.001), and further flexion was significantly smaller in group III (130.0° ± 2.7°, p < 0.001). Among the radiological parameters, posterior osteophyte formation was the most common in group III (67.8%). The rollback distance was significantly smaller in group III than in groups I and II (p < 0.001). The active deep flexion angle was affected by the posterior condylar offset (PCO) ratio, and the contact point changed the distance (p < 0.05).
conclusionPS TKAs showed better ROMs than UC TKAs; however, no differences were noted in the clinical outcome scales. The flexion angle was affected by the PCOR and rollback at both PS and UC TKAs. However, rollback negatively affected the flexion angle during UC TKAs. An inappropriate femoral rollback was identified, and femoral osteophyte formation was determined to be the most prominent in UC TKAs. Level of evidence Level III comparative study.
