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

purposeIn a prospective, consecutive study, a navigation-based technique for calculating the sliding distance of the lateral epicondyle prior to osteotomy in TKA surgery of fixed valgus deformity has been developed, and early results have been evaluated. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-seven knees with a fixed valgus deformity undergoing TKA received this new treatment. Clinical scores and radiograph evaluation were performed preoperatively and 1-year postoperatively. Static and dynamic kinematic data were obtained from navigation at the beginning and at the end of surgery.

resultsThe calculated amount of sliding distance varied between 5 and 16 mm. No complications regarding this technique occurred. All clinical scores showed a significant improvement, and radiological evaluation showed a correction of all parameters in 100 % of patients.

conclusionWith this navigation-based technique, it is possible to calculate the amount of sliding distance prior to osteotomy and obtain excellent early results. All axes have been corrected completely, and flexion and extension gaps were balanced. No specific complications of this technique have occurred so far. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
