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 investigate the effect of three-dimensional (3D) printing guide plate on improving femoral rotational alignment and patellar tracking in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

methodsBetween January 2018 and October 2018, 60 patients (60 knees) with advanced knee osteoarthritis who received TKA and met the selection criteria were selected as the study subjects. Patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 30 patients in each group. The TKA was done with the help of 3D printing guide plate in the guide group and following traditional procedure in the control group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, side, and preoperative hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), posterior condylar angle (PCA), patella transverse axis-femoral transepicondylar axis angle (PFA), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, and American Knee Society (AKS) score (

resultsAll incisions healed by first intention and no complications related to the operation occurred. All patients were followed up 10-12 months, with an average of 11 months. HSS score and AKS score of the two groups at 6 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation (

conclusionApplication of 3D printing guide plate in TKA can not only correct the deformity of the knee joint and alleviate the pain symptoms, but also achieve the goal of the accurate femoral rotation alignment and good patellar tracking.
