Long-term follow-up of a non-randomised prospective cohort of one hundred and ninety two total knee arthroplasties using the NexGen implant.

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 purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyse the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes, and the long-term survivorship of the NexGen Legacy Posterior Stabilised (LPS) knee prosthesis (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA).
methodsBetween 1996 and 2001, 197 primary NexGen LPS total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were implanted by a single surgeon; 132 prostheses in 124 patients with a minimum follow-up of 15 years were included in the study. Surgical procedure and post-operative care were the same for all patients. All patients were assessed through the International Knee Society (IKS) scores and range of motion (ROM). A complete radiological study was performed for all patients. Failure was defined as revision of at least one prosthetic component for any cause.
resultsIKS knee and function scores, as well as ROM and leg alignment, significantly improved at the latest follow-up (p ≤ 0.05). No significant differences were found between fixed- and mobile-bearing groups. Seven implant failures were reported; the implant survival rate (overall) was 94.7% at the latest follow-up.
conclusionsThis study showed optimal survivorship of the NexGen LPS, associated with a significant improvement in overall outcomes at a minimum follow-up of 15 years.
