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

introductionAs endpoint of a prospective multicenter 10-year documentation using the Columbus system, this evaluation carried out results of clinical scores (Knee Society Score and Oxford Knee Score), an evaluation of radiological imaging, survival rates and a collection of complication statistics. MATERIALS AND

methodsThere was a multicenter prospective recruitment of consecutive patients with the indication for total knee replacement (TKR). Preoperatively and 10 years after implantation, clinical scores, range of motion and radiological imaging was performed. During this period, a detailed documentation of complications was made.

resultsA total of 210 patients were recruited in 5 centers. 140 patients were available for endpoint examination 10 years after surgery. A survival rate of 96.6% (CI 95%) for the implanted Columbus prostheses after 10 years was demonstrated. Cumulative KSS showed an improvement of 75.3 (± 38.1) points and was highly significant (p < 0.0001, t test). The average functional improvement in the Oxford score was 20.6 (± 9.5) points and was also highly significant (p < 0.0001). The ROM improved from 106.5° (± 20.5) preoperatively to 116.0° (± 11.5) (p < 0.0001, t test). There were no implant-related complications as well as no new complication documented between 5- and 10-year follow-up.

conclusionsThe endpoint analysis after an observation period of 10 years provided good clinical and radiographic results. In particular, an excellent survival rate of 96.6% after 10 years was demonstrated. The data published in this study are the first to be available in a prospective multicenter study on this system, which leads to a high level of clinical significance.
