Is continuous locking suture with braided suture sufficient for arthrotomy repair in the conventional TKR? A randomized controlled trial study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionMedial-parapatellar-arthrotomy is the standard approach for total knee replacement(TKR). No studies have clarified the outcomes as quadriceps-strength-recovery (QS) and safety of Continuous-locking-suture-technique(CLS) for the arthrotomy-repair.
methodsPatients were randomly assigned into a CLS(n = 40) and an interrupted-horizontal-mattress(IHM, n = 40). QS, visual-analog-scale(VAS), modified-timed-up-and-go(TUGT) test, Western-Ontario-and McMasters-Universities-Osteoarthritis-Index[WOMAC] and Knee-Society-Score[KSS] were followed for 6 months'.
resultsA significantly-shorter capsular-closure-time in CLS(233 ± 40 VS 388 ± 47 sec)(p < 0.0001). There were insignificant difference in QS, VAS, TUGT, WOMAC and KSS during the 6-month follow-up period(p > 0.05 all). No wound complications were found.
conclusionCLS with braided-suture is safe and effective as demonstrated a recovery of the QS and knee function outcome comparable to IHM.
