Does Obesity Affect Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty? Minimum 5-Year Follow-up of Minimally Invasive TKA in Obese Patients.
Article in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) in obese patients.
methodsWe examined the records of 371 cases of MIS-TKA performed using the mini-midvastus approach from January 2006 to December 2006. According to body mass index (BMI), the cases were classified into group A (BMI < 25 kg/m
resultsMIS-TKA was performed on all patients. The skin incision size in group A, group B, and group C was 8.2 ± 0.8 cm, 8.3 ± 0.8 cm, and 8.5 ± 0.9 cm, respectively, and the operation time was 86.4 ± 10.4 minutes, 85.9 ± 11.3 minutes, and 89.0 ± 11.4 minutes, respectively, indicating no significant difference among the groups (
conclusionsMIS-TKA in obese patients showed satisfactory clinical and radiological results without significant difference in surgical results compared to nonobese patients.
