Preserving Patient-Specific Knee Motion: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Unicompartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Trial report in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may enable improved functional outcomes compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This randomized controlled trial assessed pre- and postoperative patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and knee joint gait biomechanics for UKA and TKA patients. Patients were allocated to UKA (Oxford Partial Knee, Biomet, USA) and TKA (Persona CR Knee System, Zimmer, USA) study arms. Patients completed the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Western Ontario & McMaster University Arthritis Index (WOMAC), as well as instrumented gait analysis before and 1-year after surgery. Measures of interest: OKS scores; WOMAC sub-scores; Patient-specific correlations and root mean squared errors (RMSE) of stance phase sagittal and coronal knee angles. Statistical analysis included linear mixed-effects models (PROMs; α = 0.0125) and multivariate analysis of variance (gait biomechanics; α = 0.05). A total of 38 patients were recruited (UKA n = 17; TKA n = 21). All PROMs improved significantly following surgery (n = 37, p < 0.001), regardless of surgical technique. A significant effect of surgical technique on gait biomechanics was observed (n = 30, F
