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

We evaluated a unique implant system that included a universal femoral component (UFC) design and instrumentation that would accommodate the UFC on both the left and right femur. There was a commitment to test two hypotheses: firstly, that the results of this 10-year follow-up study maintained patient outcomes compared to the initial 6-year follow-up assessment and secondly that this unique Q-angle design maintained patella tracking over the 10-year period. The results of the 10-year follow-up period determined that the two hypotheses were supported with the Knee Society Score (KSS) data and continued to support the use of this UFC.
