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

introductionSeveral ongoing studies aim to improve the survival rate following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which is an effective orthopedic surgical approach for patients with severely painful knee joint diseases. Among the studied strategies, baseplate rotational arrangement techniques for TKA components have been suggested but have been the subject of only simple reliability evaluations. Therefore, this study sought to evaluate comparatively three different baseplate rotational arrangement techniques that are commonly used in a clinical context. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of the proximal tibia with TKA were developed and analyzed considering three baseplate rotational arrangement techniques (anterior cortex line, tibial tuberosity one-third line, and tibial tuberosity end line) for six activities of daily life (ADLs) among patients undergoing TKA. Mechanical tests based on the ASTM F1800 standard to validate the FE models were then performed using a universal testing machine. To evaluate differences in biomechanical characteristics according to baseplate rotational arrangement technique, the strain and peak von Mises stresses (PVMSs) were assessed.

resultsThe accuracy of the FE models used in this study was high (94.7 ± 5.6%). For the tibial tuberosity one-third line rotational arrangement technique, strains ≤ 50

conclusionThe results show that the most recently developed frontal cortex line rotational alignment technique is the same or better than the other two rotational alignment techniques in terms of biomechanics. This finding can be, however, dependent on the contact characteristics between the baseplate and the proximal tibia. That is, it is indicated that the optimum baseplate rotational arrangement technique in terms of reducing the incidence of TKA mechanical failure can be achieved by adjusting the characteristics of contact between the baseplate and the proximal tibia.
