Where are We Now and What are We Hoping to Achieve with Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Critical Analysis of the Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives.
Review in Orthopedic research and reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) has been developed to improve knee kinematics and functional outcomes, expedite recovery, and improve implants long-term survivorship. Robotic devices are classified into active, semi-active, and passive, based on their degree of freedom. Their capacity to provide increased accuracy in implants positioning with reduced radiographic outliers has been widely proved. However, these early advantages are yet to be associated with long-term survivorship. Moreover, multiple drawbacks are still encountered including a variable learning curve, increased setup and maintenance costs, and potential complications related to the surgical technique. Despite recent technologies applied to TKA have failed to prove substantial improvements, robotic-assisted surgery seems to be here to stay and revolutionize the field of TKA. To support its consistent usage on a daily basis, long-term results are still awaited, and further improvements are necessary to reduce the expenses related to it.
