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

backgroundIn the current study, we investigated midterm results of a new rotating hinge total knee arthroplasty (EnduRo prosthesis), which uses a new bearing material (CFR PEEK).

methodsWe prospectively analysed data of 50 patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. In 24 (48%) patients, a primary implantation was performed and 26 (52%) were revision cases. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed preoperatively as well as postoperatively after 3 and 12 months and annually thereafter. The Knee Society Score (KSS), WOMAC, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and range of motion (ROM) were used for clinical assessment.

resultsKSS, WOMAC, OKS, and ROM significantly improved between the preoperative and the follow-up investigations. The overall survival rate with revision for any reason as an endpoint was 77.9% after five years. The number of complications was significantly higher in the revision group (

conclusionThe EnduRo prosthesis provides highly satisfying clinical and functional results in severe primary as well as in revision cases. Implant-associated complications were rare. However, in cases of revision surgery, the risk for complications was considerably high, mostly related to previous joint infections and poor soft tissue quality.
