Isokinetic knee muscle strength comparison after enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) versus conventional setup in total knee arthroplasty (TKA): a single blinded prospective randomized study.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) combined with the concept of enhanced recovery is of continued worldwide interest, as it is reported to improve early functional outcome and treatment quality without increasing complications. The aim of the study was to investigate isokinetic knee muscle strength after cemented TKA in combination with an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) compared to a conventional setup.
methodsIn the single blinded prospective randomized study, 52 patients underwent navigated primary cemented TKA within an ERAS (n = 30) or a conventional setup (n = 22). Preoperatively, five days and four weeks after surgery isokinetic knee muscle strength with BIODEX-type measuring device (peak torque in Nm, work in Joules and power in Watt) and subjective patient-related outcome measures (PROMs) were investigated.
resultsThe ERAS group showed significantly better outcomes in knee flexion at 180°/s (peak torque (Nm) p = 0.047, work (J) p = 0.040 and power (W) p = 0.016) 5 days postoperatively. The isokinetic measuring at knee extension 60°/s and 180°/s demonstrated no significant difference. The PROMs showed that patients were satisfied with the postoperative results in both groups. After 4 weeks, there was no longer a significant difference in isokinetic measuring at knee extension and flexion between the ERAS and conventional group.
conclusionsTKA with the concept of ERAS improves excellent isokinetic outcome and patient satisfaction. The isokinetic muscle strength measurement can help patients and surgeons to modify expectations and improve patient satisfaction.
