Analysis of Short-Term Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty with Kinematic Alignment Technique.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSurgery remains the best option for more advanced stages of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Kinematic alignment (KA) is an innovative surgical technique that aims to co-align the rotational axes of the femoral, tibial, and patella components with the three kinematic axes of the knee. This study aims to evaluate and analyze short-term clinical, psychological, and functional outcomes in patients undergoing total knee replacement with the KA technique.
methodsTwelve patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery with kinematic alignment from May 2022 until July 2022 were prospectively followed and interviewed. Before surgery, the day after surgery, and postoperative day 14, the following tests were evaluated: VAS, SF-12 PS, SF-12 MS, KSS, KSS-F, PHQ-9, and KOOS-PS.
resultsThe mean BMI value of 30.4 (±3.4) Kg/m
conclusionKinematic alignment technique as a surgical treatment for KO allows the patient a fast postoperative recovery and good clinical, psychological, and functional results in a short time. Further studies are needed with a larger sample size, and prospective randomized studies are essential to compare these results with mechanical alignment.
