Association between femorotibial rotational mismatch and early clinical outcomes after bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBi-cruciate retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered to provide improved clinical function and kinematics compared with conventional TKA, but it is unclear which factors affect clinical outcomes after BCR TKA. This study aimed to investigate whether rotational alignment of the femoral and tibial components and rotational mismatch between the femoral and tibial components affected early clinical outcomes after BCR TKA, according to the 2011 version of the Knee Society Score (2011KSS).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 39 knees that underwent BCR TKA. Rotational alignment of the femoral and tibial components and rotational mismatch between the components were measured by computed tomography based three-dimensional evaluation software. 2011KSS was obtained at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The relationship of each of rotational alignment and rotational mismatch with 2011KSS was analyzed.
resultsRotational alignment of the femoral and tibial components was not correlated with symptoms, patient satisfaction, patient expectations, or functional activities at 3, 6, or 12 months postoperatively. Rotational mismatch was negatively correlated with symptoms, patient satisfaction and functional activities at 3 months; negatively correlated with symptoms and functional activities at 6 months; and negatively correlated with symptoms, patient satisfaction, patient expectations and functional activities at 12 months postoperatively.
conclusionsRotational mismatch between the femoral and tibial components was negatively correlated with 2011KSS, whereas no relationship of rotational alignment of the femoral and tibial components with 2011KSS was observed. Excessive external rotation of the tibial component relative to the femoral component resulted in worse early clinical outcomes.
