Comparison of Pain, Muscle Strength, and Functional Status Following Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty, Total Knee Arthroplasty, and Conservative Management of Gonarthrosis.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundTreatment options and surgical decision for grade 3-4 gonarthrosis remains controversial. We aimed to compare the pain level, muscle strength, physical performance, lower extremity functions, and other physical activity levels between patients who underwent arthroplasty and those who received conservative management for grade 3-4 gonarthrosis.
methodsThis prospective analytical observational study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital. A total of 30 unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and 30 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients as two different study groups and 30 patients were treated conservatively as the control group were included. The rehabilitation and complication rates were recorded. The values of the range of motion, quadriceps diameter, were measured and also the isokinetic muscle strength, pick-up, repeated sit-to-stand, stair ascending and descending, straight-line walking, timed up and go, and 20-m walk tests, the knee injury and osteoarthritis-outcome-score (KOOS), the hospital for special-surgery-knee-score (HSS), and Oxford-Knee-Score (OKS) were performed.
resultsPostoperative rehabilitation and complication rates were significantly higher in the TKA group compared to the UKA group (
conclusionsThe UKA was significantly superior to TKA and conservative treatment concerning pain, muscle strength, and quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IIa.
