Comparative Analysis of Medial Knee Pivot vs. Post-stabilized Knee Implants in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)-A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: For patients with advanced knee arthritis, general knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly used technique to relieve aches and restore function. Although medial-pivot (MP) and post-stabilized (PS) implants are the various maximum widely used prosthetic designs, there is still confrontation over their relative efficacy and effect on affected person results. Aim: This examines the goal to systematically compare the medical and functional consequences of medial-pivot (MP) and Post-stabilized (PS) knee implants in sufferers undergoing general knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: The strategy for this systematic overview involved an in-depth literature search of the usage of databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, adhering to PRISMA recommendations. An overall of ten studies have been protected on this SRMA. Results: A total of ten studies were included in this analysis. Different variables were analyzed quantitatively for this study which includes WOMAC scores, KSS scores, OKS scores, and range of motion. The results of this meta-analysis showed that the tolerability of both of these methods was the same and no significant difference was observed between both groups. Data were extracted and a forest plot was made. The total effect was found to be 0.15 (-0.05, 0.35). Conclusions: We conclude that, although the medial-pivot (MP) prosthesis exhibits some advantages in knee kinematics and patient satisfaction, there is no statistically significant overall clinical superiority when compared to the Post Stabilized (PS) knee implants in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This is based on a systematic review and meta-analysis. When it comes to reducing pain, enhancing range of motion, attaining radiographic alignment, and handling complications, both MP and PS prostheses are equally effective. This gives medical professionals practical choices that can be tailored to the specific surgical preferences and needs of each patient.
