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: To evaluate changes in physical performance tests (PPTs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at baseline, 1 year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and a minimum of 5 years after TKA. Methods: We enrolled patients who underwent TKA between 2013 and 2015 performed by a single arthroplasty surgeon at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. We evaluated PPTs and PROMs over a minimum 5-year follow-up period to assess changes over time, identified independent factors associated with PPT deterioration, and determined TKA survivorship. Results: The study included 126 participants with a mean age of 77.8 years. The average follow-up time was 7.4 ± 2.3 years. PPTs and PROMs changed significantly over time from baseline. However, the 2-minute walk test and timed up-and-go test results slightly declined after 1 year but did not attain minimal clinically important differences, and PROMs were maintained and showed no clinically significant changes after 1 year. Hospitalizations owing to complex medical conditions or trauma were independently associated with PPT deterioration. There was a 98.8% survivorship rate at 7.6 years. Conclusions: In an Asian population undergoing TKA, PPTs and PROMs are maintained within acceptable ranges for at least 5 years after primary TKA. Trauma or hospitalizations arising from complex medical conditions were found to be associated with functional decline. A combined evaluation of PPTs and PROMs is advocated for a comprehensive assessment of patients after TKA. Level of Evidence: Level III, cohort study.
