1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of a modular tibial plate purposely designed for minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty.

methodsWe prospectively assessed the results of 200 primary total knee replacements performed through a minimally invasive approach using a dedicated modular tibial plate, a posterior stabilized knee prosthesis, and a fixed bearing in 175 patients (139 women and 36 men), undergoing surgery between 2005 and 2009 presenting knee osteoarthritis. Median age at the time of surgery was 69 years (52-88).

resultsNo patients were lost at follow-up. 3 implants underwent revision. At a mean 3 years (1-5 years) follow-up, the HHS and KSS score showed a significant improvement, increasing, respectively, from a median value of 35-95 (78-100) and from 31 points in the "knee" and 45 points in the "function" score to a median of 95 (83-100) and 94 (81-100). Using the Kaplan-Meier method, the survival rate at 5 years was 97.9% with a 95% confidence interval.

conclusionThe implant showed good results in either clinical or radiological assessment at a short/midterm follow-up with a high survival rate. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, Level IV.
