High patient satisfaction with Customized Total Knee Arthroplasty at five year follow-up.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeDespite numerous studies demonstrating promising short-term outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) with Customized Individually Made (CIM) implants, there is a significant lack of data on their mid-term effectiveness. Given the increasing number of TKAs performed annually, the rising demand for CIM implants, and the associated burden of revision surgeries, understanding the mid-term performance of CIM implants is crucial. Therefore, this study aims to report on the mid-term (minimum 5 years) outcomes of TKA using a CIM implant.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included a consecutive series of 116 patients who received the ConforMIS
resultsThe mean follow-up duration was 5.9 ± 0.8 years (range 5-7.4 years). 90% of patients stated they would undergo the same operation again, and 93% were either satisfied or very satisfied. The mean VAS for pain at rest was 2 ± 1.5 (range 0-6) and during exercise was 3 ± 2 (range 0-8). 58 patients (53%) managed to lose weight. The mean OKS was 41 ± 9 points (range 15-48), and the mean FJS-knee was 67 ± 23 points (range 4-100). No severe complications occurred.
