Surgical Technique for Imageless Robotic-Assisted Revision 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 2 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
Success in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) depends on restoring proper joint alignment and implant positioning. While robotic-assisted systems enhance precision in primary TKA, their use in revision TKA is limited due to challenges like bone loss, soft tissue contractures, and metal artifacts. This manuscript presents an imageless robotic navigation technique for revision TKA, eliminating the need for preoperative imaging and allowing intraoperative flexibility. After registering anatomical landmarks and implant removal, the system reassesses anatomy for iterative adjustments based on bone and soft tissue conditions. Unlike traditional canal-referenced methods, this approach aligns components relative to the joint line, enabling individualized positioning. Real-time feedback guides accurate bone cuts and soft tissue balancing. A case example illustrates the procedure. Further studies are needed to confirm long-term clinical benefits.
