Total knee arthroplasty for valgus deformity correction using "inverted cruciform release": technique and outcomes.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTechnique of lateral contractures structure release of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with severe valgus deformity remains difficult and major challenged. We investigated the reliability and clinical outcomes of TKA using the "inverted cruciform release" technique for correcting valgus deformity.
methodsA retrospective review of 54 patients between Jan.2018 and Apr.2023 who underwent primary TKA with valgus deformity using the technique of lateral contractures structure release called "inverted cruciform release" was performed. Clinical measurements including Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) of knee, Hospital for Special Surgery Score (HSS), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), complications and survivorship.
resultsMean age of patients was 70.67 ± 6.22 years and mean body mass index was 25.36 ± 3.74 kg/m
conclusionTechnique of "inverted cruciform release" with no constrained arthroplasty showed satisfied clinical outcomes for the restoration of soft tissue balance and neutral alignment to correct valgus deformity in TKA.
