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

backgroundAccurate component positioning and correct post-operative whole-leg alignment are crucial for ensuring the optimal long-term performance of a knee replacement. Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was introduced in an attempt to reduce outliers in the positioning of components and in the alignment of the leg axis in comparison with conventional techniques. METHODS AND

resultsA review of our own investigations and studies by other groups, it has been shown that PSI could reduce the amount of outliers in the positioning of tibial and femoral components and in whole-leg alignment. In this way, PSI differs from other procedures for improving component placement, such as navigation, for which no advantage could be demonstrated, especially with regard to rotation in comparison with conventional techniques. In this publication we focus on the VISIONAIRE PSI system (Smith&Nephew). In addition, the efficiency aspects of PSI are discussed, which differ from the conventional method because of the use of disposable instruments.
