Can individual functional improvements be predicted in osteoarthritic patients after total knee arthroplasty?
Article in Knee surgery & related research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for advanced osteoarthritis, and achieving optimal outcomes can be challenging due to various influencing factors. Previous research has focused on identifying factors that affect postoperative functional outcomes. However, there is a paucity of studies predicting individual postoperative improvement following TKA. Therefore, a quantitative prediction model for individual patient outcomes is necessary. MATERIALS AND
methodsDemographic data, radiologic variables, intraoperative variables, and physical examination findings were collected from 976 patients undergoing TKA. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were assessed, and multivariate regression analysis was conducted to identify significant factors influencing one-year WOMAC scores and changes in WOMAC scores. A predictive model was developed on the basis of the findings.
resultsThe predictive accuracy of the model for 1-year WOMAC scores was poor (all adjusted R
conclusionsThe developed quantitative model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting changes in WOMAC scores after TKA. The identified factors influencing postoperative improvement in WOMAC scores can assist in optimizing patient outcomes after TKA.
