1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to analyze the dynamic kinematics of the mobile medial pivot-type total knee arthroplasty (MMPTKA) using the three-dimensional (3D)-to-2D registration technique.

methodsCadaveric knees from five humans were used. Computed tomography of the lower limb and preoperative 3D planning for MMPTKA were performed. After performing TKA, passive motion of the knee was observed from a fully extended position to maximum flexion using a flat panel detector. The following parameters were determined: (1) anteroposterior (AP) translations of the medial and lateral most distal points (estimated contact point) of the femoral component, (2) rotational femoral component's X-axis (FCX) angle, and (3) rotational insert angle. Paired t-tests were used to analyze differences in the AP translation between the medial and lateral most distal points of the femoral component as well as differences in the changes in the rotational angle between the FCX and X-axis of the insert on the tibial component's axial plane.

resultsThe AP translations of the femoral component's medial and lateral most distal points were 8.4 ± 2.5 and 13.6 ± 3.3 mm, respectively (p = 0.001). The rotational angles of the FCX and insert were 10.7° ± 4.9° external rotation and 8.9° ± 4.1° internal rotation, respectively (p = 0.004).

conclusionsThe posterior translation of the lateral side of the femoral component was greater than that of the medial in all cases. Hence, a medial pivot pattern was identified. The femoral component exhibited external rotation throughout knee flexion in all subjects, whereas the mobile insert exhibited internal rotation (opposite pattern relative to the femoral component). This study provides valuable kinematical information of MMPTKA that has not been clear yet.
