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

objectiveTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most conventional surgeries used to solve dyskinesia caused by knee joint degeneration; however, ambiguous prosthesis position and angle after TKA can cause serious complications. This study evaluated the outcomes of infrared computer-assisted navigation (ICAN) of TKA for end-stage knee osteoarthritis.

methodsForty-six end-stage knee osteoarthritis patients who underwent TKA were randomly divided into computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) (n = 23) and non-CAOS (n = 23) groups. The intraoperative conditions, postoperative complications, soft tissue balancing, functional scores, and X-ray data were compared between groups.

resultsThe CAOS group showed longer surgery time and higher range of motion than the non-CAOS group. No significant differences in American Knee Society Score (AKSS) and Oxford Knee Score were observed between the two groups. Compared to those in the non-CAOS group, the error of the lower limb line, angle of soft tissue balancing, separation of soft tissue, and angular deviation (α, β, γ, δ) of the implants were much lower in the CAOS group.

conclusionThe ICAN system for TKA surgery was associated with less intraoperative blood loss and suitable position and angle in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis.
