Comparative Analysis of Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes Between Arthroplasty and Nonarthroplasty Fellowship Trained Surgeons.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundAn adult reconstruction (AR) fellowship is designed to provide advanced training for a broad range of primary reconstructive and complex knee revision surgeries. This study aims to identify outcome differences between primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed by AR fellowship-trained surgeons and non-AR (NAR) fellowship-trained surgeons. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 7415 patients who underwent primary TKA from 2016 to 2020. Two cohorts were established based on whether the operation was performed by an AR or NAR fellowship-trained surgeon. Demographic, clinical data, and patient-reported outcome measures were collected at various time-points (preoperatively, 3 months, 1 year). Demographic differences were assessed with chi-square and independent sample
resultsAR surgeons performed 5194 (70%) cases while NAR surgeons performed 2221 (30%) cases. Surgical time (minutes) significantly differed between the 2 groups (101.26 vs 111.56;
conclusionThis study demonstrates significantly shorter surgical times and greater improvements in KOOS, JR and VR-12 PCS scores associated with TKAs performed by AR fellowship-trained surgeons. LEVEL III EVIDENCE: Retrospective Cohort Study.
