Comparison of early clinical outcomes between handheld milling-based Smith & nephew CORI robotic and cutting-guide ARTHROBOT knee systems in total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 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
A comparative analysis was conducted to assess the early clinical results following total knee arthroplasty. (TKA) assisted by the handheld robotic milling CORI system (CRATKA group) versus the cutting-guide ARTHROBOT system (JRATKA group). This study included 103 patients suffering from end-stage knee osteoarthritis in a retrospective analysis. The JRATKA group demonstrated significantly shorter registration time, osteotomy time, and total operative time, alongside a steeper learning curve (13 cases vs. 17 cases). Radiographically, the JRATKA group achieved a coronal femoral component angle significantly closer to 90° and a superior sagittal femoral component angle. No significant intergroup differences were noted in hospital stay, haemoglobin loss, inflammatory markers, 1-month post-operative functional scores (VAS, KSS, WOMAC, ROM), complication rates, or patient satisfaction. Both systems facilitated precise implantation and excellent early functional recovery. The JRATKA system showed advantages in procedural efficiency, whereas the CORI system offers distinct flexibility. The choice should be individualised based on institutional resources and surgical team expertise.
