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

purposeSince the existence of an extra-articular deformity seriously alters the normal geometry and kinetics around the knee joint, difficulties are often encountered in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a standard surgical technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of surgical navigation system as a treatment option for osteoarthritic knees with extra-articular deformity. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe authors retrospectively reviewed medical records of the patients who underwent primary TKA between 2007 and 2012. Knees with preoperative radiography showing an angular deformity within the region from the middle third of the femur to the middle third of the tibia in the ipsilateral limb of the arthritic knees were considered as cases having extra-articular deformity. Thirteen knees of the 13 patients were found to have undergone TKA using a navigation system for osteoarthritis with ipsilateral extra-articular deformity. The hip-knee-ankle angle, Knee Society score (KSS), and range of motion were measured before and after the operation to evaluate the improvement.

resultsThe mean hip-knee-ankle angle in the coronal plane was improved to 0.2°±4.5° in valgus alignment postoperatively. The KSS was improved to 89.6±4.6 points postoperatively at the last follow-up, with over 90% of good and excellent results. The range of motion was improved to 118.5°±10.5° postoperatively.

conclusionsNavigation-assisted TKA is a good treatment option of osteoarthritic knees with extra-articular deformity.
