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

It has been reported that an accelerometer-based portable navigation device can achieve accurate bone cuts, but there have been few studies of clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using such a device. The aim of this study was to evaluate lower limb alignment and clinical outcomes after TKA using an accelerometer-based portable navigation device. Thirty-five patients (40 knees) underwent primary TKAs using an accelerometer-based portable navigation device. Postoperative radiographic assessments included the hip-knee-ankle angle, femoral component angle (FCA), and tibial component angle (TCA) in the coronal plane and the sagittal FCA and sagittal TCA in the sagittal plane. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by the Japanese Orthopedic Association score for osteoarthritic knees, Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure, and the New Knee Society Score. The frequency of outliers (>3 degrees) was 10% for the hip-knee-ankle angle, 8% for FCA, 0% for TCA, 19% for sagittal FCA, and 9% for sagittal TCA. The Japanese Orthopedic Association score and Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure were significantly improved postoperatively. The postoperative New Knee Society Score was 67.2% for symptoms, 50.3% for satisfaction, 58.6% for expectation, and 44.1% for function. TKA using an accelerometer-based portable navigation device achieved good results for both lower limb alignment and clinical outcomes.
