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.

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.

Abstract

introductionIn 2020, 368 million people globally were affected by knee osteoarthritis, and prevalence is projected to increase with 74% by 2050. Relatively high rates of dissatisfactory results after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as reported by approximately 20% of patients, may be caused by sub-optimal knee alignment and balancing. While mechanical alignment has traditionally been the goal, patient-specific alignment strategies are gaining interest. Robotic assistance could potentially facilitate implementation of these alignment strategies through data-based surgical planning, accurate execution of the surgical plan and validation. The clinical value of surgical assistance in diverging from mechanical alignment remains to be investigated. In the present study, robotic-assisted TKA will be performed to pursue inverse kinematic alignment (iKA) within predefined boundaries, focusing on restoring native tibia joint line.

methodsThis randomized controlled trial evaluates clinical effectiveness of robotic-assisted TKA (ROSA ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Medical Ethical Committee Zuyd and Zuyderland Medical Centre (NL79161.096.21/METCZ20220006), September 2022.
