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

purposeRevision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively rare, but there is concern that the minimally invasive approach might result in more complications and a higher rate of revision. Current data regarding the revision of UKA using the Oxford phase 3 prosthesis are confined to a few reviews of single-institution experience. The purpose of this study was to provide an evidence-based summarisation of the revision of UKA with a pooled analysis of the reported cases.

methodsA systematic review of published studies that evaluated the causes that required further surgical intervention after UKA using the Oxford phase 3 prosthesis was performed. A structured literature review of multiple databases referenced articles from 1998 to 2012. The revision rates between Asian population and western population were compared.

resultsA total of 2,683 patients (3,138 knees) from 17 published studies were assessed. The median age of the patients was 62.5 (range 32-93) years. The median follow-up period was 5.6 (range 0.1-11) years. Postoperative revision was necessary in 146 knees with a pooled percentage of 4.6 %. Bearing dislocation was found to be the single most important predisposing cause of revision, with a pooled percentage of 1.5 % (47/3,138 knees). The rate of bearing dislocation was significantly higher in Asian population than that in western population (p < 0.001).

conclusionsMobile bearing UKA seems to be less appropriate for the Asian population as extreme knee flexion is required for cultural purposes.
