High satisfaction and functional improvement following robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: A Latin American cohort study.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life. Patient satisfaction following TKA typically ranges from 85% to 90%, with factors such as malalignment and postoperative instability being common causes of dissatisfaction. Robotic-assisted TKA (RA-TKA) has demonstrated advantages in surgical precision and better functional recovery compared to conventional techniques. The objective of our study is to evaluate and quantify the level of patient satisfaction and functional outcomes after robotic-assisted TKA. Methods: Prospective cohort of patients who underwent TKA using robotic-assisted surgery at a single centre between 2018 and 2020. Demographic data were collected, and patient satisfaction was evaluated at the 1-year follow-up using the Knee Society Scoring (KSS) system. Functionality was assessed through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), specifically the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR), both preoperatively and postoperatively, with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 18.5. Results: A total of 270 patients with complete follow-up were evaluated. 92.6% ( Conclusion: A high level of satisfaction and significant functional improvements were achieved after robotic-assisted TKA in patients with severe osteoarthritis. Level of Evidence: Level II.
