ArticleThe Knee2002
Ten to fourteen year survival and functional analysis of the AGC total knee replacement system.
Article in The Knee, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 19 papers, 3 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 study of 562 Anatomic Graduated Component (AGC) total knee arthroplasties that were performed in 402 patients between November 1986 and September 1990 is reported. All patients had implantation with a cemented posterior cruciate-retaining design, with resurfacing of the patella using all polyethylene patella components. Mean age at surgery was 71 years (range 41-92 years). Patients were followed for a minimum of 10 years (range 10-14 years). Nine knees were lost to follow-up (1.4%). The mean Knee Society Score for pain and function were analyzed by Charnley categories: Category A -- 97 (pain) and 89 (function); Category B -- 91 (pain) and 84 (function); and Category C -- 89 (pain) and 62 (function). The survival analysis at 14 years was 97% with revision for any reason as the endpoint and the authors continue to utilize this implant system.
