Factors affecting the clinical outcomes including patient satisfaction after Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a retrospective study.
Article in Arthroplasty (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is widely used for treating patients with unicompartmental knee diseases. However, the factors affecting the outcomes of and patients' satisfaction with Oxford UKA remain controversial. The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes, including patient satisfaction, after Oxford UKA and identify the influencing factors related to patients' satisfaction.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent UKA in our medical institution from 2013 to 2018. Demographic information, clinical scores, patient satisfaction and imaging findings were recorded. The patients were followed up for at least 1 year. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify influencing factors related to clinical outcomes including patient satisfaction.
resultsA total of 80 patients (involving 87 knees) were included. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores and Knee Society Scores (KSS) were significantly improved after operation as compared to preoperative scores (6.0 vs. 1.0, P < 0.001; 113.0 ± 27.2 vs. 167.2 ± 23.9, P < 0.001), and the varus deformity was corrected (181.0 vs. 176.0, P < 0.05). Six patients (7.5%) developed postoperative complications, and no case suffered from prosthesis loosening. The time since operation (TSO) and angle E were found to be predictors of KSS improvement (P = 0.009; P = 0.024). The postoperative KSS and angle E were found to be predictors of patient satisfaction (P = 0.001; P = 0.032).
conclusionOxford UKA can improve the NRS score and KSS and correct varus deformities. A shorter TSO and smaller angle E are indicators of a greater KSS improvement. A higher KSS and smaller angle E are indicative of higher patient satisfaction.
