The use of navigation to achieve planned coronal alignment during cemented revision total knee arthroplasty: a technical note and case series.

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
Although navigation technologies have been widely adopted over the past two decades in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), their application in revision total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) remains scarcely documented. This technical note outlines a surgical protocol designed to achieve targeted coronal alignment using off-label, image-free, optical navigation during R-TKA. This technique is suitable for all image-free optical navigation systems. We report 8 cases utilizing this method. Based on postoperative long-leg radiograph measures, the mean absolute deviation from the surgical plan was 1.5° ± 1.3° (range 0.2°-3.8°) for the femur (lateral distal femoral angle) and 1.3° ± 1.5° (range 0°-4.7°) for the tibia (medial proximal tibial angle). Navigation assistance during R-TKA appears as a useful tool, particularly in cases where conventional instrumentation proves inadequate (shaft deformation, femoral canal obstruction).
