Sensor-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Wireless intraoperative load sensors have been used to improve the quality of soft-tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Recent studies using the sensors have demonstrated reductions in gap imbalance, as well as early improvement of patient-reported clinical outcomes and low rates of arthrofibrosis. However, well-designed prospective studies are needed to determine whether the application of the sensor technology for TKA will have clinical benefits and improve the survival of prosthesis. Knowledge of the load-sensing technology (advantages and disadvantages, potential pitfalls, and future prediction) is crucial to apply this new TKA technique successfully. Herein, we conduct a narrative review of previous studies on this technique.
