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

Total knee designs have evolved to allow more motion with compromising stability. The purpose of this study is to compare standard congruency and anterior lipped liners' effects on patient reported outcomes after TKA. 68 patients were retrospectively reviewed, and their SF-12 and KOOS scores were assessed preoperatively and one year post-operatively. Two-sample t-tests were used to compare differences between groups. The CVD design had a statistically significant greater improvement in KOOS-Pain compared to CVD+. No statistical difference was observed in the outcomes. The results may suggest that higher congruency designs lead to less physiological joint kinematics and pain.
