Reliability of pre-resection ligament tension assessment in imageless robotic assisted total knee replacement.
Article in Arthroplasty (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundLigament tension balance is a major determinant for the success of total knee replacement (TKR). The present study aimed at determining the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability in performing ligament tension assessment using an imageless robotic-assisted TKR.
methodsTwenty-four knees in 21 patients who received robotic-assisted TKR for end-stage varus osteoarthritis were examined. Three orthopedic specialists and six orthopedic trainees participated in the operations. Data from the ligament tension assessment were collected during the operations.
resultsFor the inter-rater reliability, "extension medial" and "flexion medial" had excellent reliability whilst "extension lateral" and "flexion lateral" had good-to-excellent reliability. For the intra-rater reliability, "extension medial" showed excellent reliability, "extension lateral" and "flexion medial" showed good-to-excellent reliability, and "flexion lateral" showed moderate-to-excellent reliability.
conclusionsRobotic-assisted technology provides a reliable solution to improve ligament tension assessment. All ligament tension assessments with the use of the technology could demonstrate at least good-to-excellent reliability except for the intra-rater reliability of "flexion lateral".
