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

objectiveRecent technological advancements have led to the utilization of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty (raKA) in the operating room.

methodsAll patients who underwent knee arthroplasty from 2009 to 2013 in NYS SPARCS were reviewed. raKAs and non-raKAs were compared for utilization and institutional trends.

resultsRobotic-assistance increased by 500%. 80% of raKAs were performed in teaching hospitals. The trend increase was greater in teaching hospitals. Blood transfusion rates differed between raKA and non-raKA (6.6% vs. 10.9%, p < 0.001).

conclusionraKA utilization increased in NYS, moreso within teaching hospitals. raKA transfusion rates were lower but higher in teaching hospitals, potentially related to learning curve.
