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

Background: Cementless total knee arthroplasty has seen increased adoption given the potential for durable biologic fixation. However, limited data exist on modern anatomic cementless tibial baseplate designs. This study evaluates early survivorship and functional outcomes of a novel cementless tibial baseplate compared to a cemented counterpart from the same manufacturer. Methods: A multicenter retrospective review was conducted of 394 patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty at 2 academic-affiliated institutions from 2018 to 2023. Of these, 183 received a porous anatomic cementless tibial baseplate (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN) and 211 received a Genesis II cemented tibial baseplate. Mean follow-up was 1.4 years and 2.7 years, respectively. The primary outcome was all-cause revision-free survivorship; secondary outcomes included aseptic tibial loosening and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome for Joint Replacement scores. Results: One patient in each group required revision for aseptic tibial baseplate loosening. Two-year all-cause revision-free survivorship was 96.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 91.2-100) in the cementless group and 96.0% (95% CI: 92.6-99.6) in the cemented group ( Conclusions: This cementless tibial baseplate demonstrated low early revision and aseptic loosening rates; however, imprecise Cox regression estimates preclude conclusions regarding equivalent survivorship. Longer-term prospective studies with contemporary controls are warranted. Level of Evidence: III, Retrospective comparative cohort study.
