COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN ATK 1
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: The objective of the article was to do a comparative study between Smith & Nephew ® prosthesis with constricted polyethylene against the standard in patients submitted to total knee arthroplasty surgery during a short-term follow-up. The aim was to analyze the survival of the related implants due to the range of movement and radiographic aspect. Methods: The sample was divided into two different groups: constricted polyethylene and standard polyethylene. A clinical analysis of the patients was carried out, and it was verified whether implant loosening had occurred. Results: This study evaluated 61 patients in a period of 2 years, 29 in the constricted polyethylene group. The pre-operative deformities were predominantly considered severe. In the postoperative, the tibial-femoral angle varied on average between 5 - 6° of valgus. The total range of movement in the post-operative was above 101° in both groups. One loosened implant in the constricted polyethylene group was observed. Conclusion: The patients treated with constricted polyethylene had the same range of movement as the control group. There was no significant difference between both groups related to loosened implants in short-term follow-up.
