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

backgroundAll burr robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) is the new way of doing TKA without conventional jigs and saw. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of limb alignment and component placement after R-TKA. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This is the prospective study of 63 patients who underwent R-TKA between March and October 2019. Standing scanogram and AP/lateral radiograph were done on day of discharge, 5th day after surgery to calculate limb alignment and component placement angles in coronal and sagittal plane. Deformity correction Bone Ninja software had been used to calculate all this angles.

resultsMean difference between robotic achieved and postoperative limb alignment was 1.24°. Mean difference between planned and achieved component placement in coronal and sagittal plane for tibia was 0.33° and 0.66° and for femur was 0.62° and 0.30°, respectively. Posterior condylar offset difference was 0.03. As per planned by Navio software, R-TKA had reduced the overall outlier of coronal limb alignment from 3° to less than 1.2° and component placement malposition to less than 1° in coronal and sagittal plane.

conclusionR-TKA provides near perfect limb alignment and near accurate femoral/tibial component placement as planned in both coronal and sagittal plane. Posterior condylar offset was also perfectly maintained. R-TKA had reduced the overall outlier of coronal limb alignment from 3° to less than 1.2° and component placement malposition to less than 1° in coronal and sagittal plane.
