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

backgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common and cost-effective surgical treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. However, only 82-89% of patients who performed TKA are satisfied with the postoperative outcomes. Therefore, bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) TKA is re-attracting attention. By retaining the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the knee may obtain the kinematic pathway that are closer to the native knee. The aim of the present study is to compare the ability to walk before and after surgery in patients who underwent bi-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR TKA) versus bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) TKA during the early postoperative period.

methodsSubjects included patients who underwent BCR TKA (10 knees) and BCS TKA (15 knees). We administered 10-meter gait tests before surgery and at 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. We collected the following triaxial accelerometery data with a portable gait analyzer: walking time, number of steps, velocity, stride length, and coefficient of variability (CV) of double-leg support time while walking.

resultsPatients who underwent BCR TKA improved their gait ability [walking time (

conclusionsBCR TKA is associated with improved gait ability in the early postoperative period.
