The Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee Classification: How It Works, How to Apply It, and How It can Affect Outcomes in Knee Reconstruction Surgery.
Review in JB & JS open access. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
» The coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification is a practical and straightforward framework to define a patient's constitutional coronal knee limb alignment and joint line obliquity. » Patients are assigned to one of nine phenotypes using two straightforward calculations; the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA) and the arithmetic joint line obliquity (aJLO). » CPAK allows clear understanding of the geographical and gender variations in knee alignment, as well as the differing outcomes of knee reconstructive surgery, based on phenotype. » CPAK enables surgeons to tailor their alignment strategy to best fit a patient's constitutional phenotype and avoid the drawbacks of a "one-size fits all" approach.
