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
purposeTo assess the influence of a higher constraint medial congruent (MC) versus a cruciate retaining (CR) (gold standard) polyethylene insert on the migration of cemented tibial and femoral components of the Persona Total Knee System. High-constraint inserts may increase forces on components and potentially affect implant migration and long-term fixation.
methodsA cohort of 66 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis received a cemented Persona total knee arthroplasty and were randomised to either an MC or a CR polyethylene insert. Tibial and femoral component migration was assessed using static radiostereometric analysis, with the first stereo-radiograph taken supine on the first postoperative day (baseline) and again at 3-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up. Tibial and femoral component migration was evaluated in six degrees of freedom and as maximum total point motion (MTPM).
resultsAt the 12-month follow-up, the mean difference in tibial component MTPM was 0.04 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.21 to 0.28). The mean MTPM was 0.81 mm (95% CI: 0.64-0.99) in the MC group and 0.85 mm (95% CI: 0.68-1.03) in the CR group. Signed migrations were similar for the MC and the CR group throughout 24 months of follow-up (p > 0.09). At the 12-month follow-up, the mean difference in femoral component MTPM was 0.18 mm (95% CI: -0.17 to 0.53). The mean MTPM was 1.08 mm (95% CI: 0.83-1.32) in the MC group and 1.26 mm (95% CI: 1.01-1.51) in the CR group. The femoral components with MC insert had 0.18 mm (95% CI: 0.03-0.32) and 0.20 mm (95% CI: 0.01-0.39) more lateral migration at 3- and 12-month follow-up, respectively. At the 24-month follow-up, there was no statistically significant differences in migration for either translations, rotations or MTPM.
conclusionsBoth tibial and femoral components had similar and acceptable fixation regardless of the type of polyethylene insert. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I.
