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

Objective: To investigate the early effectiveness of fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (FBUKA) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency (ACLD), and to evaluate postoperative muscle strength and functional recovery through isokinetic muscle strength testing. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 181 patients with unilateral medial compartment knee osteoarthritis who underwent FBUKA treatment between January 2023 and June 2024 and met the selection criteria. According to the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament, the patients were divided into the ACLD group (45 cases) and the anterior cruciate ligament intact (ACLI) group (136 cases). There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups ( Results: All patients were followed up 12-18 months, with a mean of 13.6 months. No complication such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis, dislocation of the mobile bearing insert, infection, or revision occurred after operation. Isokinetic muscle strength testing showed that at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s, the PT and TW of quadriceps and hamstring significantly decreased and H/Q increased in both groups at 6 weeks after operation when compared with preoperative values ( Conclusion: For ACLD patients without anteroposterior knee instability, the isokinetic muscle strength recovery trajectory and clinical functional scores after FBUKA are comparable to those of ACLI patients. For such patients, FBUKA can achieve satisfactory muscle strength and functional recovery, and isokinetic muscle strength testing can provide objective quantitative evidence for postoperative rehabilitation evaluation.
