Comparison of coronal and sagittal alignment in patients without osteoarthritis but with knee complaints.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to clarify lower limb alignment characteristics and the relationship between coronal and sagittal lower limb alignment in Japanese patients with knee complaints but without knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: This retrospective study included 200 knees from Japanese patients with knee complaints but without KOA aged 60 years and under presenting with knee complaints between May 2020 and May 2023. We assessed coronal parameters, including mechanical hip knee angle (mHKA), arithmetic HKA (aHKA) mechanical lateral distal femoral angle and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), and sagittal parameters, such as medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) and lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS). In addition, we compared differences between CPAK types. Results: A weak positive correlation was found between mHKA and MPTS, but not with aHKA. Moderate negative and moderate positive correlations were found between mHKA and MPTA and between medial and LPTS, respectively. Conclusions: Little correlation was found between the coronal and sagittal parameters in patients with knee complaints but without KOA. Level of Evidence: Level Ⅲ.
