Tibial baseplate fracture associated with polyethylene wear and osteolysis after total knee arthroplasty.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionFracture of the tibial baseplate following total knee arthroplasty is very rare given the developments in modern prosthesis design. Tibial baseplate fracture secondary to polyethylene wear, osteolysis and component malalignment in an elderly obese patient is reported in the present article. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 69-year-old woman had undergone total knee arthroplasty eleven years prior to presentation and reported nine months of chronic pain, which was caused by a neglected fracture of the baseplate. DISCUSSION: We discuss the prevention of implant fracture after total knee arthroplasty and address the risk factors associated with this complication.
conclusionThe present case emphasizes the importance of properly informing patients and encouraging them to report such complaints immediately to allow for early revision and prevention of component fracture, especially in patients with risk factors such as obesity and component, malalignment.
