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

Accelerometer-based navigation (OrthAlign) is the first computer-assisted surgical navigation system approved for use in the setting of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the United States. The senior author has used this technology in the revision setting for several years and developed the individualized, reproducible technique. The 4 goals during revision TKA are to (1) gain adequate exposure for the safe explanation of prior implants, (2) address any resultant bone loss, (3) restore the joint line via distal femur metal augmentation, and (4) ensure adequate stability through gap-balancing techniques and increasing the constraint of the revision implants as needed. This technique guide illustrates how accelerometer-based navigation (OrthAlign) can achieve these goals in the revision TKA setting.
