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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) evaluation of the stress X-rays following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsThis prospective study analyzed 51 consecutive rTKAs (four males and 44 females, both aged 74 ± 6 years). Postoperative varus/valgus stress X-rays were taken at maximum manual varus/valgus stress during knee extension under anesthesia, and were analyzed three-dimensionally using a 3D-2D image matching technique with 3D bone and component models. The 3D models of the femur and tibia, along with component-bone constructs, were reconstructed from CT data using 3D modeling software. The 2D evaluation of varus/valgus stress X-rays were carried out directly on the stress X-rays. The varus/valgus angle (VV angle) between components, Medial joint opening (MJO) and lateral joint opening (LJO) were assessed under conditions of no stress, valgus stress, and varus stress.
resultsThe VV angles under no stress, valgus stress, and varus stress in 3D and 2D evaluation were 3.6 ± 1.1 / 3.6 ± 1.1°, -0.6 ± 1.6 / -0.6 ± 1.6°, 7.1 ± 1.9 / 6.8 ± 2.5°, respectively. The MJO in the non-stress condition and under valgus stress in 3D and 2D evaluation were 0.0 ± 0.5 / -1.8 ± 0.8 mm,1.4 ± 1.0 / -0.2 ± 1.4 mm, and the LJO in the non-stress condition and under varus stress in 3D and 2D evaluation were 0.9 ± 1.0 / -0.6 ± 1.0 mm, 3.5 ± 1.9 / 2.1 ± 1.9 mm, respectively.
conclusionsThis prospective study revealed that the 3D evaluation of varus/valgus stress X-rays following total knee arthroplasty is equivalent to 2D evaluation in VV angles, whereas different from 2Devaluation in MJO and LJO.
