[New technologies (robotics, "custom-made") for unicondylar knee arthroplasty-contra].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundNumerous long-term results for both medial and lateral unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) demonstrate that UKA is a reliable and successful treatment for isolated anteromedial or lateral osteoarthritis of the knee when the correct indications are used. The relationship between operation volume and implant performance has clearly been established from recent studies and registry data. The use of novel technologies allows for an improvement in the accuracy of implant positioning with fewer outliers. However, evidence-based target zones for the positioning of available implants have not been sufficiently established. INDIVIDUAL ENDOPROSTHETICS: Current data does not support the routine use of patient-specific instruments or custom-made implants. ROBOTICS: Robot-assisted procedures must be interpreted as a very promising approach for the future. So far, there is insufficient evidence that robotically assisted surgical techniques improve implant performance or lead to better functional results from the patient's point of view.
