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

purposeThe effects of weight bearing (WB) on knee kinematics following mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of WB on in vivo kinematics of mobile-bearing UKA during high knee flexion activities.

methodsThe kinematics of UKA were evaluated under fluoroscopy during squatting (WB) and active-assisted knee flexion (non-weight bearing, NWB). Range of motion, femoral axis rotation relative to the tibia, anteroposterior (AP) translation of the medial and lateral sides, and kinematic pathway were measured.

resultsThere were no differences in knee flexion range and external rotation of the femur in each flexion angle between the WB conditions. The amount of femoral external rotation between minimum flexion and 60° of flexion during WB was significantly larger than that during NWB, and that between 60° and 130° of flexion during NWB was significantly larger than that during WB. There were no differences in medial AP translation of the femur in each flexion angle between the WB conditions. However, on the lateral side, posterior translation of 52.9 ± 12.7% was observed between minimum flexion and 130° of flexion during WB. During NWB, there was no significant translation between minimum flexion and 60° of flexion; beyond 60° of flexion, posterior translation was 41.6 ± 8.7%. Between 20° and 80° of flexion, the lateral side in WB was located more posteriorly than in NWB (p < 0.05).

conclusionMobile-bearing UKA has good anterior stability throughout the range of knee flexion. WB status affects the in vivo kinematics following mobile-bearing UKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
