IMPACT OF BODY MASS INDEX ON FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.

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
The aim of this study was to determine whether body mass index and age had an impact on functional recovery two years after total knee replacement. The research was conducted at the Lovran Hospital of Orthopedics and Traumatology, School of Medicine, University of Rijeka, Croatia. Study sample included patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery with median parapatellar approach in 2019. Morphological measurements, knee range of motion and WOMAC questionnaire score were examined before and two years after surgery. Descriptive statistics was used for gender, age and body mass index, and inferential statistics was employed to check the correlation of recovery measured by changes in the WOMAC score and change in the range of motion results with age and body mass index. According to study results, male and female patients did not differ in body mass index (t=1.184; p>0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation of functional recovery of the patients with age (p=0.556), or between body mass index and differences in the range of motion (p=0.927) from flexion to extension. The study indicated that knee arthroplasty and thus the impact on functional recovery had an equally good effect regardless of age. In patients who had flexion contracture before surgery, the surgery improved motion amplitude.
