Can TKA design affect the clinical outcome? Comparison between two guided-motion systems.

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
purposeIn a retrospective comparative analysis in patients undergoing primary guided-motion total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the authors have evaluated whether different TKA implant design would influence the clinical and functional outcomes.
methodsBetween 2007 and 2009, 227 computer-assisted primary TKAs were performed in 219 consecutive patients. Patients received one of the two different fixed-bearing guided-motion TKA designs assisted by navigation surgery: the Scorpio Non-Restrictive Geometry (NRG) knee system and the Journey Bi-Cruciate Stabilized (BCS) knee systems.
resultsData were available for 180 patients (187 knees). No significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to preoperative demographic characteristics, range of motion (ROM) and radiographic knee alignment. At a mean follow-up of 29 months, the Journey BCS group had higher mean Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in all subscales and a greater ROM than the Scorpio NRG group. This difference was statistically significant for the KOOS subscales of pain (p = 0.007) and knee-related quality of life (p = 0.045), as well as for postoperative ROM (p = 0.018). Considering the overall complications, 1 patient of Scorpio NRG group (0.5%) and 5 in Journey BCS (2.7%) had stiffness. Anterior knee pain was reported in 4 cases of Scorpio NRG group (2.1%). In the Journey BCS group were observed 2 cases (1.1%) of frontal plane instability and 1 case (0.5%) of synovitis pain.
conclusionsThe bearing geometry and kinematic pattern of different guided-motion prosthetic designs can affect the clinical-functional outcome and complications type in primary TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Clinical study, Level III.
