Shoulder arthroplasty in alkaptonuric arthropathy: a clinical case report and literature review.
Review in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Alkaptonuria is a rare hereditary metabolic disease of autosomal recessive inheritance, resulting from deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. The term "alkaptonuria" was first used in 1859 by Boedeker to describe a patient's urinary reducing compound, and in 1866, Virchow coined the term "ochronosis" due to typical yellow pigmentation. Deposition of this pigment in articular cartilage leads to ochronotic arthropathy, the most incapacitating complication of alkaptonuria. We report a rare case of shoulder ochronotic arthritis, treated with total shoulder arthroplasty, achieving a successful long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.
