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

backgroundReports of diverse outcomes in modular mini-keel tibial componentry for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have raised concerns about early aseptic loosening. Cruciate-retaining (CR) prostheses, using mini-keel implants, have yet to be reported and compared to posterior-stabilizing (PS) designs.

methodsA retrospective, case-matched study of 91 consecutive TKAs (n = 46 CR; n = 45 PS prostheses), using modular mini-keel tibial componentry with a 45-mm drop down stem extension, was conducted. The Knee Society Score functional survey, radiographic analysis including alignment and periprosthetic radiolucency, TKA prosthesis longevity, and surgical complications were reported and compared between CR and PS groups.

resultsThe Knee Society Score at 5-year follow-up averaged 81.67 ± 11.97 and 80.12 ± 14.16 in the CR and PS groups, respectively (p = 0.29). The femorotibial angle averaged 5.85° ± 2.62° and 5.85° ± 3.27° valgus in the CR and PS groups, respectively (p = 0.60). The average tibial component angle was 0.46° ± 1.6° and 0.61° ± 1.3° varus in the CR and PS groups, respectively (p = 0.30); posterior inclination averaged 2.28° ± 2.36° and 1.93° ± 2.72° in the CR and PS groups, respectively (p = 0.51). Radiolucency was noted in 17 zones of the CR group and in 9 zones of the PS group (p = 0.24). Three TKAs required further surgery: one locking plate fixation for a periprosthetic tibial fracture (PS group) and two revision TKAs (one CR infection and one PS fracture).

conclusionModular mini-keel tibial components showed good reliability and results with both CR and PS prostheses in minimally invasive surgery TKA.
