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: Mixed-reality guidance for total knee arthroplasty (MR-TKA) offers a novel approach that may enhance intraoperative planning and surgical site tracking compared to established techniques, such as accelerometer-based guidance (AB-TKA). This study investigates operative time, resection accuracy, and short-term clinical outcomes of MR-TKA compared with AB-TKA. Methods: MR-TKA procedures were performed at a single institution and retrospectively matched 1:1 with an AB-TKA cohort based on age (±5 years), sex, and body mass index (±5 kg/m Results: A total of 94 cases were included (47 MR-TKA, 47 AB-TKA). There was no difference in age (74 ± 7.6 years; range, 53.0-88.7), body mass index (28.7 ± 4.6; range, 19.0-42.0), or sex (74.5% women, 25.5% men) between groups. Mean operative time was longer for MR-TKA compared to AB-TKA (109 ± 21 vs 90 ± 13 minutes, Conclusions: Mixed-reality guidance was associated with improved femoral resection accuracy but may require longer operative time compared to accelerometer-based guidance. Both techniques demonstrate comparable short-term range of motion and complication rates.
