Joint line elevation and tibial slope are associated with increased polyethylene wear in cruciate-retaining total knee replacement.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05482438 (INFLUENCE OF SELECTED CLINICAL AND IMPLANT FACTORS ON THE RATE AND DISTRIBUTION OF WEAR OF POLYETHYLENE INSERT OF THE ARTIFICIAL KNEE JOINT), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The purpose of this retrieval study was to determine the effect of implant positioning on wear, taking patient-related factors into account. Therefore, the volumetric material loss of 59 retrieved tibial liners was quantitatively determined using a coordinate measuring-machine. All retrievals were made of the same polyethylene and design by a single manufacturer. Using time in-situ and linear regression, a wear rate for each liner was determined and corrected for bedding-in. Backside damage was qualitatively scored. The following implant positioning parameters were obtained from radiographs: anatomical lateral-distal femoral angle, anatomical medial-proximal tibial angle, femoral tilt angle, and posterior tibial slope. The patella position was assessed by the Blackburne-Peel index and the Insall-Salvati ratio. Unlike the Insall-Salvati ratio, the Blackburne-Peel index is known to detect surgical joint line elevation. Using general linear modeling the most impactful factors on wear rate and backside damage was determined, thereby taking patient demographic factors into account. The mean volumetric wear rate was 11.6 mm
