Similar survival between screw cementless and cemented tibial components in young patients with osteoarthritis.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of tibial fixation with either a cemented or cementless with screw augmentation component in young patients with non-inflammatory arthritis.
methodsNinety-three patients aged 55 or younger with non-inflammatory arthritis were randomized to compare outcomes between cemented tibial fixation (48 patients) and cementless fixation with screw augmentation (45 patients). The femoral component was cementless in both groups. Post-operative evaluation was assessed by the clinical and radiological criteria of The Knee Society and WOMAC questionnaire.
resultsThe median follow-up was 6.7 (5-12) years. Significant differences were found for knee score (p = 0.02), range of motion (p = 0.04), and WOMAC score (p = 0.03). In the cemented group, there was one deep wound infection, four tibial aseptic loosening, and one polyethylene wear, all of which were revised. In the cementless group there was one tibial aseptic loosening and one polyethylene wear, both being revised. There was no difference in revision rate, and the cumulative survival at 9-year for aseptic reason was 93.7 % (95 % CI, 82-100 %) in the cementless group and 90.0 % (95 % CI, 80-100 %) in the cemented group (n.s.).
conclusionsCementless total knee arthroplasty was found to be a reliable option in younger patients with osteoarthritis. Although the revision rate and survival were similar in both groups, better clinical outcomes were obtained with cementless tibial components.
