1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is affecting the practice of orthopedic surgery, offering innovative solutions from preoperative planning to intraoperative guidance and real-time adaptation. This review highlights current advancements in AI-driven imaging analysis, anatomical segmentation, and implant selection, highlighting improvements in surgical precision, efficiency, and patient-specific customization. Intraoperatively, AI enables real-time image processing, integration with robotic systems, and adaptive feedback mechanisms that enhance accuracy, reduce complications, and personalize care. Clinical applications span joint replacement, spine, and trauma surgery, where AI supports diagnosis and offers support in decision-making, often surpassing conventional methods. Despite these promising developments, challenges remain regarding data quality, model generalizability, transparency, and ethical considerations. Future directions emphasize explainable AI, multimodal data integration, and closer synergy between AI, robotics, and digital health to advance personalized orthopedic care.
