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

introductionUnicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are established treatments for medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA) or osteonecrosis (ON) of the knee joint, and the predominance of either procedure is inconclusive. We compared the awareness of the knee after UKA and HTO using the Forgotten joint score-12 (FJS). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective, multicenter study. Ninety-six knees of 90 patients who received UKA or HTO and were followed-up for at least 1 year were analyzed. Postoperative FJS was compared between the two groups and evaluated for the effect of patient-related factors and clinical outcomes. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to predict FJS.

resultsThere was no significant difference in the FJS between the UKA and HTO groups (p = 0.24). FJS did not correlate with any of the patient-related factors. There was a correlation between the FJS and each item of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKS). In multiple linear regression analysis, lower BMI, the diagnosis of OA Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade ≥ 3, and ON were significant predictors of better FJS. In both groups, FJS was correlated with each item of the KOOS and LKS. Internal consistency in terms of Cronbach's alpha was excellent.

conclusionsThere was no significant difference in FJS between patients who underwent UKA and HTO. Lower BMI, the diagnosis of OA KL grade ≥ 3, and ON were significant predictors of better FJS.
