Safe and effective use of active robotics for TKA: Early results of a multicenter study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundA novel active robotic system for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performs automated milling of bone surfaces. Study objectives were to assess system safety and effectiveness in a US population.
methodsA multicenter clinical trial was conducted, following 115 patients for at least 6-months. A pre-defined list of robot-related adverse events was used to evaluate safety. Efficacy was assessed radiographically comparing planned versus achieved coronal limb alignment.
resultsNo pre-defined adverse events occurred and postoperative limb alignment more than ±3° from plan occurred in 11.2 % of cases.
conclusionActive robotics for TKA is safe and effective as demonstrated in this trial.
