Comparison of bilateral cementless total knee arthroplasty results between patients in different BMI groups.

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
introductionThe aim of this study was to compare the results of cementless bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between individuals in different obesity groups. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 who underwent bilateral TKA for gonarthrosis between 2014 and 2020 and completed a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included. Age, sex, height, weight, BMI, operation time, length of stay, patient satisfaction, knee scores and complications were compared. Patients with missing data, who were followed for less than 24 months or had postoperative fractures around the knee were excluded.
resultsThere was a significant difference between the groups in terms of operation time (Class III > overweight > Class II > Class I p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in complications between the groups (Class III > Class I > Class II > overweight p = 0.010). According to our pairwise comparison, complications were more common in the class III group than in the overweight group. Knee score (KS) and function score (FS) increased significantly after surgery in all groups (p < 0.001), with no difference in FS (p = 0.448). Knee score changes were greater in the overweight and class I groups (p < 0.001). There was a significant interaction between both KS and FS and person satisfaction (p < 0.001).
conclusionCementless TKA improved KS and FS in all obesity groups, yielded high patient satisfaction. Although the incidence of complications was higher in the morbidly obese patients than in the overweight patients, the difference was not significant. Patients with morbid obesity should be informed about related risks before planning cementless TKA.
