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

We present the peak outcome results of the Oxford medial unicompartmental arthroplasty through a minimally invasive surgical incision. This prospective study included 78 Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacements in 68 patients. At the 2 year review the patients achieved a mean Oxford Knee Score of 38.3. This was not significantly different to the 2 year results of the phase 2 Oxford knee carried out using a standard parapatellar approach when patients achieved a mean OKS of 36.0. Four unicompartmental knee replacements required revision for unexplained pain, deep infection, aseptic loosening and bearing dislocation. Minimally invasive joint replacement is attractive to both patients and surgeons, but is technically demanding with complications inherent to limited access.
