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

objectiveTo compare the effectiveness of the intermittent suture and the cosmetic suture in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

methodsA clinical data of 48 patients with knee osteoarthritis, who underwent initial TKA between January 2017 and April 2018, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 23 patients underwent intermittent suture (group A) and 25 patients underwent cosmetic suture (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, degrees of varus and valgus deformities, knee society score (KSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in serum before operation between the two groups (

resultsAll patients were followed up 7- 17 months (mean, 11.3 months). There was no significant difference in hospitalization time after operation between two groups (

conclusionCosmetic suture is superior to intermittent suture in incision appearance and pain management, but there is no significant difference in short-term joint function and risk of periprosthetic infection after TKA.
