1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

abstractWhile there have been great advancements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over the past 50 years, anterior knee pain (AKP) remains the most common concern among patients postoperatively. Despite exhausting evidence supporting no clinical difference in AKP with resurfaced vs. unresurfaced patellae in TKA, 87% of TKAs are resurfaced in the United States, compared with 2% in other countries. These large practice variations underscore a lack of consensus regarding the role of the patella and the approach to the anterior compartment of the knee in TKA. The aim of this review was to go beyond patellar resurfacing and describe the effects that surgical technique and implant design may have on AKP in current TKA.
