Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06483178 (A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Gait in Fixed or Rotating Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasties), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundModern TKA implants promise to improve functional outcomes, stability, patient satisfaction and operating room efficiency. The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate our short-term clinical and radiological results and survival using the ATTUNE Total Knee Replacement System.

methodsThe authors reviewed 228 primary cemented TKAs using ATTUNE Total Knee Replacement System which were implanted between 2014 and 2018 concerning short-term clinical and radiographical outcomes and survival. Clinical evaluation was performed using the Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), the Oxford Score and a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain. Radiographic analysis was performed using the Modern Knee Society Score Evaluation System.

resultsThe means of the clinical results as measured with KOOS score were Pain 82,7, Symptoms 79, ADL 78,3, Sport and recreation 51,8 and QOL 78,6. The mean Oxford score was 35 and NRS 2. The mean ROM was 113,4 (SD 9,4 range 90-130). Radiographically mean mechanical axis was 1,97° of Varus and radiolucent lines were detected in 43 knees (22,4%). The survival rate is 98.4% at 2 years and 97.4% at 5 years.

conclusionAt short-term follow-up the ATTUNE Knee Replacement System provide excellent clinical and radiographical outcomes and good results regarding revision rate. Due to high incidence of radiolucent lines, those patients should be closely monitored even though they show no clinical evidence for loosening.
