Intra- and inter-operator reliability of three-dimensional preoperative planning in total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo characterize the intra- and inter-operator reliability of a CT-based 3D preoperative planning software. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study analyzed 30 CT scans of de-identified knees with osteoarthritis. For each scan, a case planner segmented the bones and pre-planned the TKA. Three orthopedic surgeons then reviewed each pre-planning three times at least one week apart, in a blinded manner. During the reviews, the surgeons modified the pre-plannings until they felt the plannings matched the objectives defined collegially at the beginning of the study. Reliability was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM).
resultsThe intra- and inter-operator reliabilities for implant size selection were almost perfect (ICC between 0.97 and 0.99). Implants of same sizes were selected in 67.1-90.0% of cases. For implant placements, almost perfect intra- and inter-operator reliability was observed in all degrees-of-freedom (ICC between 0.81 and 1.00), except in flexion-extension for the femur (intra-operator ICC between: 0.76 and 0.99; inter-operator ICC of 0.61) and the tibia (intra-operator ICC between 0.12 and 1.00; inter-operator ICC of 0.03). All implant placements SEM were below 1.3 mm or 1.7°.
conclusionsThis study showed high intra- and inter-operator reliability for implant size selection and, in most of the degrees-of-freedom, also for implant placements. Further research is needed to evaluate the benefit of developing more precise means of describing the objectives of the surgical planning as well as to evaluate the possibility and relevance of adding features in the planning software to assist the operators.
