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
Background: Robot-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been introduced to improve component positioning. The ROSA Knee System and Persona Partial Knee (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) constitute a relatively new robotic platform with limited data. We aimed to quantify tibial and femoral component alignment and evaluate short-term clinical outcomes. Methods: We reviewed 64 consecutive medial UKAs performed with this system. Preoperative planning used computed tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional models. Postoperative component alignment was measured on radiographs and CT. Clinical outcomes were assessed with the 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) preoperatively and at 1 year; paired analyses were performed in 34 knees with complete preoperative and postoperative KSS data. Results: Tibial components were implanted in greater varus and with less posterior slope than planned. The planned tibial coronal angle was 0.0° ± 0.1°, whereas the postoperative CT-based angle was -2.7° ± 2.3°; posterior slope decreased from 7.8° ± 1.4° to 4.5° ± 2.4°. Femoral alignment showed minimal deviation. In the 34 knees with complete KSS data, mean symptom, satisfaction, and functional activity subscores improved from 7.4 ± 4.9, 16.1 ± 6.4, and 47.7 ± 17.2 to 19.4 ± 5.3, 29.8 ± 6.4, and 75.7 ± 14.5, respectively (all Conclusions: Medial robot-assisted UKA with this system showed generally accurate component positioning but a consistent tendency toward approximately 2° greater tibial varus and reduced posterior slope relative to the plan. Awareness of this systematic deviation may help optimize tibial placement, and short-term clinical outcomes were favorable.
