Effect of knee arthroscopic debridement combined with peripatellar denervation on restoration of knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis research examines knee osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent orthopedic disease marked by cartilage degeneration and chronic synovitis, leading to pain, restricted mobility, and eventual loss of knee function. Notably, patellofemoral osteoarthritis constitutes a significant proportion of knee OA cases. Our study aims to assess the impact of knee arthroscopic debridement coupled with peripatellar denervation on restoring knee function in OA patients and analyze the risk factors affecting treatment outcomes. By doing so, we hope to contribute to the informed selection of clinical treatment plans, addressing a disease that, if untreated, significantly impairs patients' quality of life.
methodsA total of 211 patients with knee osteoarthritis treated in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 116 patients received arthroscopic knee debridement treatment alone as the control group, and 95 in the observation group were combined with denervation treatment based on the control group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients after treatment was evaluated, and patients' pain was counted using the pain visual analogue score (VAS) method. The knee range of motion (ROM) was used to count the mobility of the patients and to compare the operative time, intraoperative perfusion volume, and length of stay between the two groups. According to the effectiveness after treatment, patients were divided into the improvement group (effective + markedly effective) and the non-improvement group, and the risk factors affecting the clinical efficacy of patients after treatment were analyzed by logistic regression.
resultsThe total treatment efficiency of patients in the control group was lower than that of those in the observation group (P < 0.05). There was no difference in intraoperative perfusion volume and length of stay between patients in both groups (P > 0.05). However, the operative time was shorter in the control group compared with that in the observation group (P < 0.001). The post-treatment VAS scores of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while the ROM scores were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.001). Age, BMI, and preoperative VAS score were found to be independent risk factors for patient outcome by logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05).
conclusionknee arthroscopic debridement combined with peripatellar denervation has a significant improvement in the restoration of knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis and reduces their level of pain.
