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

Background: Sagittal stability in total knee arthroplasty is achieved through complex processes enabled by prosthetic design and intraoperative soft tissue balancing. This study investigated the effects of preserving medial soft tissue on sagittal stability in bicruciate stabilized total knee arthroplasty (BCS TKA). Method: This retrospective study included 110 patients who underwent primary BCS TKA. The patients were divided into two groups: 44 TKAs were performed releasing medial soft tissue (CON group), and 66 TKAs were performed preserving medial soft tissue (MP group). We assessed joint laxity using tensor device and anteroposterior translation immediately after surgery using the arthrometer at 30° knee flexion. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed according to preoperative demographic and intraoperative medial joint laxity, and further comparisons between the two groups were performed. Result: After PSM analysis, medial joint laxity in the mid-flexion range tended to be smaller in the MP group than in the CONT group, with a significant difference at 60 degrees (CON group: - 0.2 ± 0.9 mm, MP group: 0.8 ± 1.3 mm, Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effects of preserving medial soft tissue on postoperative sagittal stability in BCS TKA. We concluded that this surgical procedure enhances postoperative sagittal stability in the mid-flexion range in BCS TKA.
