Comparable long-term functional outcomes of subvastus and medial parapatellar approach in total knee arthroplasty: A 10-year follow-up study.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07742696 (Comparison of Postoperative Functional Outcomes Between Subvastus and Medial Parapatellar Approach in Total Knee Arthroplasty), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Surgeons usually use the medial parapatellar or subvastus approaches for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The subvastus approach is rapidly gaining recognition to reduce damage to the extensional mechanism and recover faster after surgery. This study compares the long-term outcomes of the conventional medial parapatellar and subvastus approaches in primary TKA during a minimum 10-year follow-up. Methods: In a retrospective longitudinal follow-up study from 2008 to 2013, 60 eligible patients for primary TKA were included. The patients were divided into two groups: one undergoing TKA with the subvastus approach ( Results: The time required to perform an active straight leg raise (SLR) was significantly shorter in the subvastus group ( Conclusion: The subvastus approach was associated with a shorter time to achieve active SLR, higher functional scores, and better pain relief at early postoperative evaluations. However, both techniques had similar long-term outcomes in terms of pain and functional scores, as measured by the WOMAC and KSS scales. Level of Evidence: II.
