Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty using the contralateral knee as a control group: a case-control study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The primary purpose of this study was to compare clinical and functional results of bilateral total knee arthroplasties in which a conventional total knee replacement was initially performed on one knee and a minimally invasive total knee replacement was later performed on the contralateral side. Operative factors, clinical and radiographic outcomes, and quadriceps muscle strength were evaluated in twenty-five patients (50 total knee arthroplasties). Twenty-one of the 25 patients preferred the minimally invasive approach. Knee society objective scores and range-of-motion were significantly greater in the minimally invasive group. Isokinetic testing demonstrated statistically improved quadriceps muscle strength in the minimally invasive technique group compared to the standard approach at both 12 weeks and one year postoperatively. Radiographic analysis did not reveal differences in alignment variables between the two approaches. The results of this study suggest that minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty offers superior short-term as well as possible long-term results.
