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
Objective: To investigate the effect of preoperative lower-limb muscle strength on perioperative blood loss, postoperative pain, and functional recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 380 patients who underwent TKA and met the selection criteria between February 2023 and December 2024. Based on the gender-specific median of standardized preoperative lower-limb extensor isokinetic muscle strength (IMS), the patients were divided into a low-extensor strength group and a high-extensor strength group, with 190 cases in each group. The following data of the two groups were collected and compared, including age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities, surgical side, length of hospital stay, Kellgren-Lawrence grade, perioperative parameters [including hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels within 1 week preoperatively and 2-3 days postoperatively, with the calculation of Hct loss and Hb loss (the difference between the pre- and post-operative measurements), and whether intraoperative allogeneic blood transfusion was performed], preoperative knee flexion and extension IMS, 5-time sit-to-stand (5-STS) test within 2 weeks preoperatively, as well as visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain and active range of motion (AROM) within 2 weeks preoperatively and 1 day postoperatively. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between preoperative lower-limb extensor IMS and TBL. Through multiple linear regression analysis, the effect of IMS on TBL was further explored after adjusting for confounding factors such as age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, gender, body mass index, surgical side, Kellgren-Lawrence grade, comorbidities, length of hospital stay, preoperative Hct and Hb levels, intraoperative allogeneic blood transfusion rate, and changes in VAS scores ( Conclusion: Higher preoperative lower-limb muscle strength is associated with reduced intraoperative blood loss during TKA and improved postoperative pain relief and functional recovery. These findings highlight the critical role of preoperative muscle strength management, providing scientific evidence for designing standardized postoperative rehabilitation protocols and offering guidance for optimizing surgical timing to maximize recovery outcomes.
