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

backgroundRecently, controversy still exists regarding the clinical effects of cemented or cementless technique in young patients in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this context, the present study aimed to determine the functional outcomes and clinical reliability of cementless components versus those of conventional cemented components for young patients in primary TKA.

methodsA retrospective review of primary TKAs performed with cementless or cemented fixation between May 2010 and February 2019 was conducted with Institutional Review Board approval. All cases were performed by a single surgeon. Institutional review board approval was obtained prior to conducting chart review and analysis. The primary outcome compared between the 2 fixation groups was the rate of postoperative complications and revision related to TKA, occurring at any point in follow-up. Secondary outcome measures included surgical time, Oxford Knee Score, range of motion, and radiographic outcomes such as progressive radiolucent lines, osteolysis, or component migration.

resultsWe were able to directly compare the outcomes of cemented versus cementless techniques and might reveal a better technique in TKA.

trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5459).
