Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty improves early knee strength but not functional performance: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04450485 (Does Mini Mid-Vastus Approach Have An Advantageous Effect On Rapid Recovery Protocols Over Medial Parapatellar Approach In Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Prospective, Randomized, Single-Blinded Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 4 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.

Abstract
A prospective, randomized investigation compared early clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using conventional or minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches (n = 44). Outcome measures included isometric quadriceps and hamstrings strength, quadriceps activation, functional performance, knee pain, active knee range of motion, muscle mass, the Short Form-36, and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, assessed preoperatively and 4 and 12 weeks after TKA. Four weeks after TKA, the MIS group had greater hamstring strength (P = .02) and quadriceps strength (P = .07), which did not translate to differences in other outcomes. At 12 weeks, there were no clinically meaningful differences between groups on any measure. Although MIS may lead to faster recovery of strength in patients undergoing TKA, there was no benefit on longer-term recovery of strength or functional performance.
