ReviewKnee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA2010
Is there any superiority in the clinical outcome of mobile-bearing knee prosthesis designs compared to fixed-bearing total knee prosthesis designs in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint? A review of the literature.
Review in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
To substantiate the validity and relevance of the mobile-bearing knee prosthesis design compared to the fixed-bearing design, concerning the clinical outcome, this review was conducted. Articles published in 6 major orthopaedic journals were screened. Only randomized controlled trials, which investigate the clinical outcome, were included. The clinical outcome parameters of each study were analysed. Despite the numerous quantities of publications in orthopaedic literature, we could conclude, that only a few of them are randomized controlled trials. Although better kinematics of mobile-bearing knee prosthesis designs compared to fixed-bearing knee prosthesis designs are reported, no superiority of one of the bearing designs concerning clinical outcome could be revealed. Because no superiority of one of the designs concerning revision rate, survival and outcome can be found, the cheaper one should be the one to be recommended. For this reason, we advise that further research, comparing the costs and cost-benefit of mobile-bearing compared to fixed-bearing knee prosthesis designs, should be performed.
