Early and mid-term results with the ATTUNE total knee replacement system compared to PFC Sigma: a prospective comparative study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeUp to 20% of all patients are not satisfied with the result after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To improve patient satisfaction manufacturers have modified prosthesis design. The ATTUNE prosthesis is a modified version of the PFC Sigma. Aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome at 6 months and 5 years after TKA with ATTUNE compared to PFC Sigma.
methodsSixty patients were included prospectively (30 ATTUNE vs. 30 PFC Sigma). Knee Society Score and Hospital for Special Surgery Score were recorded preoperatively, at 6 months and at least 5 years postoperatively. At 5-years follow-up X-rays in two planes were evaluated, radiolucent lines were documented.
resultsPatient characteristics were similar in both groups. Both ATTUNE and PFC Sigma provided good to excellent clinical results. There were no statistically significant differences based on the overall scores and patient rated outcome measures. Nevertheless, patients in the ATTUNE group tended to be symptom-free earlier and to achieve better clinical results after 5 years.
conclusionEven with the scores not being significantly different here, the modified design of ATTUNE could increase long-term satisfaction with the implant and reduce the need for revision surgery. However, long-term results are required to prove this.
