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
backgroundThe effect of axial rotation between the femoral neck and ankle joint (total rotation [TR]) on normal knees is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the TR effect on normal knee kinematics.
methodsVolunteers were divided into groups large (L), intermediate (I), and small (S), using hierarchical cluster analysis based on TR in the standing position. TR was measured using three-dimensional (3D) bone models generated from CT. A two-dimensional to 3-dimensional registration technique was used to assess the spatial position and femur and tibia orientation during squat. The axial rotation, varus-valgus alignment, and anterior-posterior translation of the femur relative to the tibia were evaluated.
resultsGroup L had the highest TR, whereas group S had the lowest TR (L: 36.6° ± 6.0°, I: 23.2° ± 3.0°, and S: 13.8° ± 5.1°). Above 50° of flexion, femoral external rotation was greater in group S than in groups L and I. From 40° to 110°, the medial side was more anterior in group L than in groups I and S, whereas the lateral side was more posterior in group S than in groups L and I.
conclusionsIndividuals with larger TR had more femur anterior-medial translation relative to the tibia.
