Comparison of imageless robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty and conventional total knee arthroplasty: early clinical and radiological outcomes of 200 knees.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The aim of this study was to compare the short term clinical and radiological outcomes of imageless robotic and conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to estimate the accuracy of the two techniques by analysing the outliers after TKA. We have evaluated 200 consecutive knees (158 patients), 100 knees undergoing robotic TKA, and 100 knees treated with conventional TKA. Demographic parameters like age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis and range of motion were obtained. Knee society score (KSS) and Knee society functional score (KSS-F) were used for clinical evaluation. Mechanical alignment (Hip-knee-ankle angle), proximal tibial angle (MPTA), distal femoral angle (LDFA) and tibial slope were analysed for radiological results and outliers were compared between both groups. Outliers were defined when the measured angle exceeded ± 3° from the neutral alignment in each radiological measurement on the final follow-up radiograph.The minimum follow-up was 6 months (range, 6 to 18 months). The preoperative mean HKA angle was 169.7 ± 11.3
