1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAims of this study were to compare the functional and radiographic results, perioperative complication after lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (LUKA) with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the legacy constrained condylar knee (LCCK) arthroplasty for the treatment of lateral compartmental knee osteoarthritis (LCKOA), and to provide a basis for the treatment of LCKOA.

methodsFrom January 2021 to January 2024, analyzed retrospectively clinical data of 74 patients with LCKOA treated with LUKA, TKA and LCCK arthroplasty. According to the operation plan, the patients were divided into three groups: LUKA group (23 cases), TKA group (23 cases) and LCCK group (28 cases). The changes of hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle of the affected knee before and after operation were measured. All patients were assessed using the operation time, blood loss during operation, incision length, visual analogue scale (VAS) score before operation and after operation, Hospital for Special Surgery score (HSS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), range of motion (ROM).

resultsAll 74 patients were followed up for (2.38 ± 0.33) years. The operation time, blood loss during operation, incision length and VAS score after operation in the LUKA group were significantly less than those in the TKA group and LCCK group (P < 0.05); HKA valgus angle, ROM, HSS score and OKS score of the three groups after operation were significantly better than those before operation (P < 0.05); There was no significant difference among the three groups in HSS score and OKS score (P > 0.05).

conclusionLUKA, TKA and LCCK arthroplasty have good clinical effect in the treatment of LCKOA; Compared with TKA and LCCK arthroplasty, LUKA has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, less pain and quick recovery. The short-term effect is satisfactory, and the long-term effect remains to be observed.
