A pilot study on preferences from surgeons to deal with an innovative customized and connected knee prosthesis - A discret choice experiment.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To address the increasing global demand for Total Knee Arthroplasty and reduce the need for revisions, several technologies combining 3D planning and artificial intelligence have emerged. These innovations aim to enhance customization, improve component positioning accuracy and precision. The integration of these advancements paves the way for the development of personalized and connected knee implant. Questions/purposes: These groundbreaking advancements may necessitate changes in surgical practices. Hence, it is important to comprehend surgeons' intentions in integrating these technologies into their routine procedures. Our study aims to assess how surgeons' preferences will affect the acceptability of using this new implant and associated technologies within the entire care chain. Methods: We employed a Discrete Choice Experiment, a predictive technique mirroring real-world healthcare decisions, to assess surgeons' trade-off evaluations and preferences. Results: A total of 90 experienced surgeons, performing a significant number of procedures annually (mostly over 51) answered. Analysis indicates an affinity for technology but limited interest in integrating digital advancements like preoperative software and robotics. However, they are receptive to practice improvements and considering the adoption of future sensors. Conclusions: In conclusion, surgeons prefer customized prostheses via augmented reality, accepting extra cost. Embedded sensor technology is deemed premature by them.
