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
Mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is prone to rotational malalignment of the femoral component. Moreover, existing biomechanical studies frequently overlook the mechanical impact of patients' bone quality on such surgical errors. To investigate the coupling effect of femoral component transverse rotation and bone quality on the biomechanical environment, a finite element model incorporating intact soft tissues was constructed. Based on bone mineral density variations, three models were established: normal bone (B1), osteopenia (B2), and osteoporosis (B3). Nine rotational conditions ranging from -14° to 14° in the transverse plane were simulated. Quantitative analysis revealed that external rotation significantly elevated the contact pressure on the polyethylene liner. Conversely, internal rotation (-14°) increased the lateral meniscus stress by approximately 16.8% compared to the neutral alignment (0°) via a "linkage mechanism". Group B3 exhibited a pseudo "cushion effect", wherein the peak strain of the tibial cancellous bone reached 5 883.9 µε, exceeding the pathological threshold of 4 000 µε; additionally, compared with Group B1, their average strain in the cortical bone increased by approximately 79.7%. In conclusion, transverse rotational malalignment of the femoral component serves as a direct mechanical trigger disrupting the biomechanical balance in UKA, and osteoporosis significantly amplifies this risk of failure. Therefore, for patients with compromised bone mass, strict neutral alignment must be pursued intraoperatively to circumvent cancellous bone microfractures and early prosthesis subsidence.
