Preservation of preoperative CPAK is not associated with improved clinical outcomes one-year after functionally aligned robot-assisted TKA.

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
Purpose: To determine if maintaining the preoperative CPAK class influences on clinical outcomes when performing a functional aligned robotic assisted TKA (RATKA). Methods: This prospective cohort study compared patients who maintained their preoperative CPAK classification following functionally aligned RATKA with those who did not. Clinical outcomes were assed at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Collected data included demographics variables, pain (VAS), range of motion (ROM), KOOS scores and radiographic parameters (HKA, MPTA, LDFA). JLO and aHKA values were calculated to determine CPAK classification. Results: Fifty-five patients were included. The preoperative CPAK phenotype was preserved in 34.6 % of cases, the aHKA group in 55.6 % and the JLO group in 52.7 %. JLO preservation was significantly more frequent in distal-apex knees (90 %). Preservation of the preoperative CPAK phenotype, aHKA group or JLO group had no significant effect on knee ROM, pain or functional outcomes at 6 or 12 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Changes in CPAK classification, aHKA or JLO during RATKA with functional alignment do not impact clinical outcomes at 6 or 12 months. Implant positioning should aim for a stable, well-balanced knee within safe positioning boundaries, rather than exact CPAK restoration. Level of evidence: III.
