Perioperative complications of simultaneous versus staged unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
Article in Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe complication risk of staged versus simultaneous total knee arthroplasty continues to be debated in the literature. Previous reports suggest unicompartmental knee arthroplasty provides a more rapid functional recovery than total knee arthroplasty. However, little data exist on whether simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty can be performed without increasing the perioperative risk compared with staged unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We therefore asked if there is an increased risk of perioperative complications with bilateral simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
methodsWe retrospectively compared 141 patients (282 knees) treated with staged unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with 35 patients (70 knees) treated with simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to evaluate perioperative complications and short-term results assessed by Knee Society function scores and the Lower Extremity Activity Scale.
resultsPatients who underwent simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty had a shorter cumulative operative time (109 versus 122 minutes), a shorter cumulative length of hospital stay (1.7 versus 2.5 days), higher Knee Society function scores at most recent followup (88 versus 73), and higher Lower Extremity Activity Scale (12.0 versus 10.2) without a difference in perioperative complications. The simultaneous cohort was younger (59 versus 63 years of age) and less obese (body mass index 31 versus 33 kg/m(2)) than the staged group.
conclusionsAlthough we found a substantial bias for performing simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in younger and less obese patients, these data suggest it can be performed without increasing perioperative morbidity or mortality in this patient population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
