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
backgroundRobot-assisted surgery was developed to improve accuracy and outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One important determinant of TKA success is a well-balanced knee throughout the range of motion. The purpose of this study is to determine if robot-assisted TKA (RA-TKA) results in improved intracompartmental ligament balance compared with conventional jig-based instrumentation (CM-TKA).
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 2 cohorts-a CM-TKA (n = 49) vs RA-TKA (n = 37) cohort. Demographic and intraoperative data, including intraoperative compartment loads, were measured after final implant implantation in extension (10°), mid-flexion (45°), and full flexion (90°), using an intraoperative compartment pressure sensor. An a priori power analysis revealed our study exhibited >80% power in detecting a 5-pound (lb) difference in compartment loads in the 2 cohorts.
resultsThere was no difference between medial and lateral compartment loads in extension, mid-flexion, and full flexion for the conventional (15.1 lbs, 15.9 lbs, and 13.4 lbs, respectively) vs RA-TKA (14.2 lbs, 15.1 lbs, and 10.3 lbs, respectively). The percentage of patients with high load compartment pressure in flexion (>40 lbs) by the conclusion of the surgery was significantly greater for the conventional (18%) vs the robotic TKA cohort (3%,
conclusionsIn this series, RA-TKA resulted in improved intraoperative compartment balancing in flexion with no observed difference in mid-flexion and extension compared with CM-TKA.
