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 primary aim of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic variation using the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification among 1000 knees with anteromedial osteoarthritis (OA) both prior to and following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The secondary aim of this study was to investigate whether knees maintained their preoperative CPAK phenotype and to evaluate the phenotypic alterations following medial UKA.

methodsThe CPAK classification was used to analyze 1000 knees that underwent medial UKA as treatment for anteromedial OA. Knees were categorized into nine distinct CPAK phenotypes based on their arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA), which estimates the pre-arthritic alignment, and joint line obliquity (JLO), both pre- and postoperatively. Phenotypic variation was analyzed by sex and age, and the phenotypic alterations following medial UKA were evaluated by phenotype.

resultsPreoperatively, CPAK phenotype I had the highest prevalence (45.0%). Among males, the preoperative prevalence of CPAK phenotype I was significantly higher compared to females (53.2% vs. 35.0%, respectively; p ≤ .001), whereas females exhibited a significantly higher occurrence of CPAK phenotype V compared to males (9.8% vs. 4.4%, respectively; p ≤ .015). Following medial UKA, CPAK phenotype II had the highest prevalence (53.3%). Overall, 45.1% of knees maintained their preoperative CPAK phenotype following medial UKA, which was most frequently observed among CPAK phenotype II (67.7%) and III (65.8%).

conclusionThere is a substantial variation in CPAK phenotypes among knees with anteromedial OA, as well as following treatment with medial UKA. This variability challenges the assumption of uniform characteristics among knees with an identical wear pattern associated with anteromedial OA and emphasizes the complexity and variability of this specific form of OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, Retrospective cohort study.
