A New Dressing System Reduces the Number of Dressing Changes in the Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. 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
Purpose: We devised a novel dressing system to accelerate the recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes and economic expenses of the new dressing system. Methods: In this randomized and controlled trial, we enrolled 98 patients who underwent the first unilateral TKA between September 2020 and June 2021. The patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the intervention (the new dressing system group) or the control (the traditional gauze dressing) group. We gathered and evaluated patient data including age, gender, body mass index, surgical side, number of dressing changes, post-operative hospital stay, dressing-related expense, satisfaction, pain and function scores, wound scores and wound-related complications. Results: The number of dressing changes and post-operative hospital stay in the intervention group were significantly less than in the control group ( Conclusion: The new dressing system can reduce the number of dressing changes and post-operative hospital stays while increasing patient satisfaction with no difference in medical costs in TKA. This wound dressing system has potential for application in TKA. Clinical Trial Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov, identifier ChiCTR2000033814.
