1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Because kinematic alignment (KA) aligns femoral components in greater valgus and with less external rotation than mechanical alignment (MA), the trochlear groove of an MA design used in KA is medialized, which can lead to complications. Hence, a KA design has emerged. In this study, our primary objective was to quantify differences in trochlear morphology between the KA design and the MA design from which the KA design evolved. The KA and MA designs were aligned in KA on ten 3D femur-cartilage models. Dependent variables describing the morphology of the trochlea along the anterior flange, which extends proximal to the native trochlea, and along the arc length of the native trochlea, were determined, as was flange coverage. Along the anterior flange, the KA groove was significantly lateral proximally by 10 mm and was significantly wider proximally by 5 mm compared to the MA design (
