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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) using cruciate retaining (CR) versus posterior stabilized (PS) prostheses.

methodsBetween 2001 and 2010, 133 patients who underwent TKA after previous HTO were included in this study and prospectively followed up for two years. Two independent assessors recorded the range of motion of the operated knee, anterior-posterior (AP) laxity, medial-lateral (ML) laxity, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) and Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS).

resultsThirty-three patients received CR prostheses, while 100 patients received PS prostheses. The median (inter-quartile range) knee flexion at 6 months and 2 years post-TKA was 101° (90, 116) and 110° (90, 118), respectively for the CR group, compared to 115° (100, 121) and 118° (108, 125) for the PS group (p = 0.010 and p = 0.009, respectively). AP and ML laxities were comparable in both groups of patients. While both groups of patients showed improvement in OKS, KSFS and KSKS at 6 months and 2 years post-TKA, there was no significant difference in these clinical scores between the two groups at both time points of follow-up. None of the 133 patients required revision surgery.

conclusionsAlthough PS prostheses offer better knee flexion in TKA after previous HTO, the knee stability, clinical scores and revision rate at 6 months and 2 years post-TKA are comparable between CR and PS prostheses. The authors conclude that CR is an alternative to PS prostheses in patients undergoing TKA after previous HTO. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
