Cycle Sprint Test for the Evaluation of Lower Limb Muscle Power After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Proof-of-Concept Study.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundLower limb muscle power is emerging as an important determinant of patient function after knee injury or surgery. This study tested proof of concept of a cycle sprint test for the evaluation of lower limb muscle power, as an outcome measure for patients having total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsThirty-two patients were enrolled, of which 16 completed all follow-ups (3, 6, and 12 months). All patients completed the Oxford Knee Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score questionnaires, a 10-m walk test, and 30-second sit-stand test. A trainer-mounted road cycle fitted with an instrumented crank was used for the cycle sprint test. Maximum muscle power was measured from 3, 10-second maximal efforts.
resultsSignificant improvements in Oxford Knee Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome scores relative to baseline were achieved at each follow-up (
conclusionThe concept of muscle power measurement using a cycle sprint test before and after TKA has been demonstrated in this study. Identification of individuals with lower limb muscle power deficits after TKA may inform rehabilitation programs and enhance long-term outcomes.
