The AGC total knee prosthesis at average 11 years.
Review in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
A retrospective study of a series of 126 consecutive primary cemented total knee replacements using the AGC prosthesis is reported. Sixty-two knees were available for long-term review with an average clinical follow-up of 11.4 years (range, 8.4-13.6 years). The survivorship was 95%, defining the endpoint as revision of all components for any reason except sepsis. The average knee flexion was 110.9 degrees. The average Knee Society score was 91, and the average Knee Society Functional score was 67. There was no finding of tibial polyethylene failure, wear debris-generated osteolysis, or tibial or femoral loosening. Seven metal-backed patellae developed wear-through at an average of 80.4 months (7 of 126 for a 5.5% failure rate), with 3 (2.3%) resulting in complete revision. The authors continue to use the AGC prosthesis with an all-polyethylene patella. Compared with historical controls, the AGC has comparable survivorship.
