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

purposeTo compare long-term clinical and radiographic results and survival rates between hybrid and cemented total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed on paired knees.

methodsSeventy-two patients with hybrid and cemented TKAs performed on paired knees with NexGen® cruciate-retaining prostheses were retrospectively reviewed after a minimum 15 years of follow-up. Mean follow-up period was 17.5 years. Preoperative alignment deformity and range of motion (ROM) were not different between groups. The Knee Society score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and ROM were evaluated. Radiographically, change in joint space width, component loosening, and osteolysis were evaluated. Implant survival rate was analyzed.

resultsThere were no significant differences in clinical results between hybrid and cemented TKAs performed on paired knees of 72 patients at the last follow-up. No significant difference was observed in the change in joint space width between the two groups at the last follow-up (medial = 0.3 mm vs. 0.4 mm; lateral = 0.1 mm vs. 0.2 mm). One hybrid TKA showed tibial component loosening, for which revision was performed. There was femoral osteolysis in one hybrid and one cemented TKA, and tibial osteolysis in eight hybrid TKAs and seven cemented TKAs (n.s., respectively). The 20-year survival rate was 97.7% for hybrid TKAs and 100% for cemented TKAs (n.s.).

conclusionThe long-term outcomes were similar between hybrid and cemented TKAs performed on paired knees at a minimum 15 years of follow-up. The method of femoral component fixation did not have a significant effect on long-term TKA success. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
