Weight-bearing computed tomography in knee pathologies: current evidence and future perspectives.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) provides three-dimensional (3D), high-resolution imaging with patients in either a unipodal or bipodal stance, allowing visualization of dynamic joint alterations that might be missed in conventional radiographs or in non-weight-bearing exams, such as conventional computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Multiple lines of research are exploring its application for the evaluation of knee osteoarthritis, knee ligamentous instability, malalignment syndromes, patellofemoral disorders, and postoperative assessment following total knee arthroplasty. Despite its growing clinical utility, the development of standardized imaging protocols, broader accessibility, and integration with advanced image-analysis tools remain important areas for further progress. This review summarizes the current evidence supporting the clinical applications of WBCT in knee assessment and discusses future directions aimed at optimizing its role in personalized musculoskeletal care.
