Orthopedic surgery approach with uncemented metallic prosthesis in knee osteoarthritis increases the quality of life of young patients.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Osteoarthritis is mainly located in the knee area. It is an important concern related to the population health, determined by the influence on the quality of life of patients. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with uncemented fixation is among the most encountered procedures performed in patients of a younger age. The present study investigated the response of patients (quality of life, mobility and pain management) with titanium/hydroxyapatite-coated implants with polyethylene inserts. A total of 57 patients with knee arthroplasty were studied with an average age of 54.1±4.9 years and 57.8% were females. The present study focused on the following aspects: The components of such a prosthesis and the way they contribute to a physiological fixation/recovery; how the implant surgery is performed; the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients; postoperative pain assessment in different types of movement; the management of the movement capacity 1 year after the surgery; and complications that may occur. One year after the surgery, these patients reported pain release, considerably favorable results in every-day activities, and good mobility (capable of using the car, rising from the bed or standing). Knowledge and accurate observation of the correct steps in performing this surgery and the role of the components of the prosthesis can lead to favorable therapeutic outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
