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

Purpose: To clarify the influence of biomechanics on post-operative clinical outcomes in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKA). Methods: Severe medial osteoarthritis who underwent BCR-TKA were examined. Each patient was asked to perform a squat (weight-bearing [WB]) and active assisted knee flexion (non-WB [NWB]) under single fluoroscopy surveillance. A 2D-to-3D registration technique was used. Patients were divided into two groups based on their 1-year post-operative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) using hierarchical cluster analysis. The rotational alignment on computed tomography, anterior stability at 30° of knee flexion, axial rotation of the femur relative to the tibial component and anteroposterior translation of the medial and lateral femorotibial contact points were measured. Results: Components did not significantly differ between the groups, with 1.6 ± 5.0° and 5.4 ± 4.7° of femoral internal rotation in the low PROM ( Conclusion: The femoral component in the low-PROM group was externally rotated across all ranges of motion, and the lateral contact points were posteriorly located in BCR-TKA. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.
