VELYS robotic-assisted solution achieves more accurate bone cutting and neutral ground mechanical axis compared with an accelerometer-based portable navigation system in ground kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty.

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
purposeThis study aimed to compare the accuracy of bone cutting, achievement of target alignment, and early clinical outcomes between ground kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) performed using the VELYS
methodsThis cohort study prospectively enrolled 35 consecutive patients who underwent ground KA-TKA using the VRAS and compared them with 35 consecutive patients treated with the same surgical procedure using the APNS. The primary end point was the accuracy of bone cutting and achievement of target alignment. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 1 year postoperatively.
resultsThe VRAS group demonstrated significantly smaller mean absolute errors from target values, particularly in femoral bone cutting and achievement of a neutral ground mechanical axis, compared with the APNS group (0.7 ± 0.8° versus 1.5 ± 1.1°, 1.6 ± 1.8% versus 3.0 ± 2.4%, p < 0.05, respectively). There were no significant differences in range of motion and 2011 Knee Society Score between groups.
conclusionsGround KA-TKA performed using the VRAS achieved higher accuracy in bone cutting and more reliable achievement of a neutral ground mechanical axis, compared with the APNS.
