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

backgroundIndividualized and accurate implantation of a tibial prosthesis during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can assist in uniformly distributing the load and reducing the polyethylene wear to obtain a long-term prosthetic survival rate, but individualized and accurate implantation of a tibial prosthesis during TKA remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to optimize and individualize the positioning parameters of a tibial prosthesis to improve its accurate implantation using a new method of finite element analysis in combination with orthogonal experimental design.

methodsTen finite element models of TKA knee joint were developed to optimize the implantation parameters (varus angle, posterior slope angle, and external rotation angle) of tibial prosthesis to reduce the peak value of the contact pressure on the polyethylene liner according to the method of finite element analysis in combination with orthogonal experimental design. The influence of implantation parameters on the peak value of the contact pressure on the polyethylene liner was evaluated based on a range analysis in orthogonal experimental design.

resultsThe optimal implantation parameters for tibial prosthesis included 0° varus, 1° posterior slope, and 4° external rotation. Under these conditions, the peak value of the contact pressure on the polyethylene liner remained the smallest (16.37 MPa). Among the three parameters that affect the peak value of the contact pressure, the varus angle had the greatest effect (range = 6.70), followed by the posterior slope angle (range = 2.36), and the external rotation angle (range = 2.15).

conclusionsThe optimization method based on finite element analysis and orthogonal experimental design can guide the accurate implantation of the tibial prosthesis, reducing the peak value of the contact pressure on the polyethylene liner. This method provides new insights into the TKA preoperative plan and biomechanical decision-making for accurately implanting TKA prosthesis.
