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
backgroundOur surgical team has been performing bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKAs) with functional alignment (FA). This study aimed to investigate knee kinematics before and after FA BCR-TKA, as well as the influence of these changes on clinical outcomes.
methodsFifty cases of BCR-TKAs were included. Intraoperative rotational kinematics and anteroposterior translations between before (preinsertion group) and after (postinsertion group) BCR-TKA were compared. The relationship between clinical outcomes and intraoperative kinematic parameters between the two groups was evaluated.
resultsThe tibial internal rotational angles of the preinsertion group were significantly larger than those of the postinsertion group at 0°, 60°, 90°, and maximum flexion angles. Anteroposterior (AP) translation of the femur center relative to the tibial center of the preinsertion group was significantly smaller than that of the postinsertion group at 60° and 90° of flexion angles. No difference was found between the two groups at 0°, 30°, and maximum flexion angle. A negative relationship was found between the difference in rotational angles at maximum flexion and knee injury, and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) activity of daily living (ADL), and improvement of KOOS symptom and ADL subscale scores. A positive relationship was found between the difference in rotational angles at 0° and improvement of KOOS pain, sports, and quality of life subscale scores.
conclusionsAP translation of the femur after BCR-TKA with respect to the tibia was similar to that of the preoperative knee. The change in rotational knee kinematics after BCR-TKA showed associations with clinical outcomes; however, the relationship remains multifactorial and should be interpreted with caution.
