Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty is not associated with increased risk of postoperative deep vein thrombosis.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeProlongation of operation time due to registration and pin insertion has been reported with robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA), and there has been concern about an increase in the postoperative incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In this study, we compared the incidence of DVT after RATKA with that after conventional manual TKA (mTKA).
methodsThis consecutive retrospective series included 141 knees that underwent primary TKA using the Journey II system. The CORI robot was used. There were 60 RATKAs and 81 mTKAs. Doppler ultrasound was performed in all patients on postoperative day 7 to determine whether DVT was present.
resultsThe operation time was longer in the RATKA cohort (99.5 min vs 78.0 min, p < 0.001). The overall incidence of DTV was 43.9% (62/141 knees), all of which were asymptomatic. There was no significant difference in incidence of DVT between RATKA and mTKA (50.0% vs 39.5%, p = 0.23). Use of the robot did not affect the incidence of DVT following TKA (odds ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.40-2.60; p = 0.96).
conclusionThe incidence of DVT was not significantly different between RA-TKA and mTKA. Multiple logistic regression indicated that RATKA is not associated with increased risk of postoperative DVT. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
