Reliability of Imageless Computer-Assisted Navigation for Femoral Rotational Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Malaysian orthopaedic journal, 2021. 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
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the femoral component rotation on intra-operative data recorded in a computer-assisted navigation system (CAN-FRA) compared with the post-operative femoral component rotation observed on computed tomography (CT-FRA). MATERIAL AND
methodComputer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or primary osteoarthritis of the knee was performed in 51 knees in 36 patients with a mean age of 69.51 years. All procedures were performed by a single surgeon using the same implant design. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to compare the intra-operative CAN-FRA with the post-operative CT-FRA. The angle between the anatomical epicondylar axis and the posterior condylar axis of the implant (CT-FRA) was measured at two separate timepoints by three observers who were blinded to the intra-operative CAN-FRA. Internal rotation was defined as rotation in the negative direction, while external rotation was defined as positive.
resultsThe mean intra-operative CAN-FRA was 0.1° ± 2.8° (range -5.0° to 5.5°). The mean post-operative CT-FRA was -1.3° ± 2.1° (range -4.6° to 4.4°). The mean difference between the CAN-FRA and the CT-FRA was -1.3° ± 2.2° (range -7.9° to 2.4°). The respective ICC values for the three observers were 0.92, 0.94, and 0.93, while the respective intra-observer coefficients were 0.91, 0.85, and 0.90. The ICC for the intra-operative CAN-FRA versus the post-operative CT-FRA was 0.71.
conclusionThis study shows that using a computer-assisted navigation system in TKA achieves reliable results and helps to achieve optimal positioning of the femoral component and rotation alignment correction.
