Acceptable Functional Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction Following Total Knee Arthroplasty in Asians with Severe Knee Stiffness: A Matched Analysis.
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 7 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
backgroundThis study evaluated outcomes following total knee arthroplasty for severely stiff knees in Asians.
methodsRegistry data of patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty between 2004 and 2013 were collected and retrospectively reviewed. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data together with the Oxford Knee Score and the Knee Society Score (Knee Society Knee Score and the Knee Society Function Score) were collected both preoperatively and postoperatively for up to 2 years. Case subjects consisted of patients with a preoperative flexion range of ≤ 20°. Control subjects consisted of patients with a preoperative flexion range of > 90°. Patients were matched for age, sex, and all preoperative scores in a 2:1 fashion. Two-year outcomes and 5-year revision rates were then compared between cases and controls.
resultsThere were 28 cases and 56 controls. Cases had a significantly lower body mass index than the controls (
conclusionsFunctional outcomes and patient satisfaction were acceptable following total knee arthroplasty in Asian patients with severe knee stiffness.
