Smart sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Innovations in computer technology and implant design have paved the way for the development of smart instruments and intelligent implants in trauma and orthopaedics to improve patient-related functional outcomes. Sensor technology uses embedded devices that detect physical, chemical and biological signals and provide a way for these signals to be measured and recorded. Sensor technology applications have been introduced in various fields of medicine in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases. Intelligent 'Smart' implants are devices that can provide diagnostic capabilities along with therapeutic benefits. In trauma and orthopaedics, applications of sensors is increasing because of the advances in microchip technologies for implant devices and research designs. It offers real-time monitoring from the signals transmitted by the embedded sensors and thus provides early management solutions. Smart orthopaedic implants have applications in total knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, spine surgery, fracture healing, early detection of infection and implant loosening. Here we have explored the role of Smart sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty. Smart sensor assisted can be used intraoperatively to provide objective assessment of ligament and soft tissue balancing whilst maintaining the sagittal and coronal alignment to achieve desired kinematic targets following total knee arthroplasty. It can also provide post-implantation data to monitor implant performance in natural conditions and patient's clinical recovery during rehabilitation. The use of Smart Sensor implant technology in total knee arthroplasty appears to provide superior patient satisfaction rates and improved functional outcomes.
