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

backgroundTotal knee replacement (TKA) is a frequent modality performed in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the efficacy after TKA by gait analysis in patients with OA.

methodsPubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies from inception to July 2024. STATA SE 14.0 software was used for statistical analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guideline.

resultsA total of 2525 reports were identified with 24 studies meeting pre-designed inclusion criteria. Several gait parameters were investigated. In patients with knee OA after TKA, there existed an increase in the Max knee flexion (WMD, 3.12; 95% CI, 0.93 to 5.32; I

conclusionsIn summary, the study found that, in patients with knee OA undergoing TKA may have great effects on improving gait parameters. If there are more high-quality studies in the future, we should make a more comprehensive evaluation of walking function by gait analysis together with other evaluation systems such as muscle strength and proprioception measurement.
