Morphometric Parameters of the Distal End of the Femur: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive condition that significantly impairs quality of life. The femoral component of the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant is a key intervention for alleviating OA-related morbidity, requiring precise anatomical considerations to ensure effective outcomes.
methodsThis study aimed to document the morphometric parameters of the distal femur in the North Indian population using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It specifically focused on measuring these parameters in healthy adults and analyzing the variations based on age and sex. An observational study was conducted utilizing MRI scans of 70 healthy adults of both sexes.
resultsMorphometric parameters of femoral anteroposterior diameter, femoral posterior condylar length, femoral lateral anteroposterior distance, and femoral medial anteroposterior distance of distal end femur showed higher values in men compared with women (p < 0.001). Younger male patients displayed higher values than female patients, compared to male patients in the more than 30 years age group.
conclusionSignificant gender differences were observed in the study, which highlights the importance of designing femoral components of TKA prostheses that account for anatomical variations of the particular population in question, to potentially improve implant stability and longevity for the patient.
