Robotic Arm-assisted Augment Preparation (RAAP-Technique) During Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Modular metal augments are commonly used to reconstruct bony defects during complex primary and revision total knee arthroplasties. The slot for placing an augment is usually prepared using an intramedullary jig and conventional instruments, even during robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty. We report a robotic arm-assisted augment-preparation (RAAP) technique to reconstruct uncontained bony defects using modular metal augments. In this technique, a saw-based robotic arm is utilized to precisely resect the base of the bony defect to accommodate the modular metal augment of appropriate size. The method described in this study avoids the need for conventional revision instrumentation to perform this part of the surgery. Surgery can be completed without removing the robotic array pins. Hence, the robotic system can be retained until the end of the surgery, enabling the monitoring of the final alignment robotically, even during and after the polymerization of the cement. A short case series utilizing this method is also presented.
