Digital templating in total knee and hip replacement: an analysis of planning accuracy.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine how well pre-operative size selection for total knee and hip arthroplasties based on the digital imaging with and without additional referencing correlated with the size actually implanted.
methodsSize selection planning of total knee arthroplasty by digital templating was documented in 46 cases with reference ball (group A) and in 48 cases without ball (group B). In addition, prospective analysis of pre-operative planning was conducted for 52 acetabular components with reference ball (group C) and 69 without ball (group D) as well as stem planning in 38 cases with ball (group E) and 54 cases without ball (group F). The data were analysed and compared with the size of the final component selected during surgery.
resultsThe correlation between planned and implanted size for total knee arthroplasty in group A resulted in femoral anteroposterior (AP) r = 0.8622 and lateral r = 0.8333 and in group B AP r = 0.4552 and lateral r = 0.6950. Tibial in group A was AP r = 0.9030 and lateral r = 0.9074 and in group B AP r = 0.7000 and lateral r = 0.6376. For the acetabular components, the results in group C were r = 0.5998 and group D r = 0.6923. For stems, group E was r = 0.5306 and group F r = 0.5786. No correlation between BMI and the difference between planned and implanted size was found in any of the groups.
conclusionIn the case of total hip arthroplasty there was a relatively low correlation between planned and implanted sizes with or without reference ball. For total knee arthroplasties the already high precision of size planning was further improved by the additional referencing with a reference ball.
