Total Knee Arthroplasty With Robotic and Augmented Reality Guidance: A Hierarchical Task Analysis.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed procedure that has traditionally utilized reproducible steps using a set of mechanical instruments. The number of TKAs performed using robotic assistance is increasing, and augmented reality (AR) navigation systems are being developed. Hierarchical task analysis (HTA) aims to describe the steps of a specific task in detail to reduce errors and ensure reproducibility. The objective of this study was to develop and validate HTAs for conventional, robotic-assisted, and AR-navigated TKA. Methods: The development of HTAs for conventional TKA involved an iterative review process that incorporated the input of 4 experienced arthroplasty surgeons. The HTAs were then adapted for robotic-assisted and AR-navigated TKA by incorporating specific steps associated with the use of these systems. The accuracy and completeness of the HTAs were validated by observing 10 conventional and 10 robotic-assisted TKA procedures. Results: HTAs for conventional, robotic-assisted, and AR-navigated TKA were developed and validated. The resulting HTAs provide a comprehensive and standardized plan for each procedure and can aid in the identification of potential areas of inefficiency and risk. Robotic-assisted and AR-navigated approaches require additional steps, and there are an increased number of instances where complications may occur. Conclusions: The HTAs developed in this study can provide valuable insights into the potential pitfalls of robotic-assisted and AR-navigated TKA procedures. As AR-navigation systems are developed, they should be optimized by critical analysis using the developed HTAs to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, accessibility, reduction of human error, and costs.
