Distal Femoral Dimensions in Turkish Population and Their Implications in Knee Prosthesis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTotal knee prosthesis is a frequently used material in surgery. Distal femur measurements must be taken into account to use the correct prosthesis. The aim of this study is to guide the development of a knee prosthesis suitable for distal femur dimensions in the Turkish population. Thus, it was planned to guide the Turkish population in choosing the most suitable knee prostheses imported from abroad.
methodsUsing 138 dry bones in the study, at first, the sides of the femurs were determined and eight parameters from femur distal and proximal parts were measured by a measuring tape and a digital caliper. Five parameters were measured at the distal part to evaluate whether these parameters differ according to the femur side.
resultsAccording to the results, distal femur measurements do not differ by side. Distal femur measurements in the Turkish population are wider than distal measurements of the Far East and Asian populations. These measurements are more similar to the measurements of the North American population. Also, the femur can be safely used in cases where there is no possibility of making a gender determination with the pelvis or the skull.
conclusionsThe femur's distinct morphological differences between genders offer invaluable insights for anthropometric gender determination. Our study underscores the importance of considering morphological and metric measurements and sets the stage for further research in this domain.
