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
BACKGROUND This retrospective study aimed to compare patient outcomes from standard total knee arthroplasty (TKA) vs navigation-guided arthroplasty using the Brainlab software-guided surgical system at Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated TCM-WM, Hebei, Hebei Province, China from January 2021 to July 2023. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 239 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty in Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated TCM-WM, Hebei from January 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the inclusion criteria, 212 eligible patients were selected for analysis and divided into a Navigation Group (NG) (n=105) and a Traditional Group (TG) (n=107) according to surgical method used. Outcomes measured included duration of disease, operative time, intraoperative blood loss volume, postoperative length of hospital stay, and pain measured by the hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and forgotten joint score (FJS). RESULTS The comparison of perioperative results between the 2 groups showed that the incision length in the NG was significantly longer than that in the TG (P<0.001, 95% Cl 2.59-3.35). At 3 months after surgery, the HSS score of the NG was statistically higher than that of the TG (P=0.002, 95% Cl 3.42-4.46); the WOMAC score of the NG was lower than that of the TG (P<0.001, 95% Cl -4.41-2.87); and the FJS score of the NG was significantly higher than that of the TG (P=0.003, 95% Cl 2.39-3.67). CONCLUSIONS Compared with conventional TKA, use of the Brainlab navigation system is associated with a longer incision, more accurate implantation position of the prosthesis, faster recovery of knee joint function, and helps patients to "forget" about their knee prosthesis in the short term.
