Bone mineral density changes after total knee replacement in women over the age of 65.
Article in Journal of bone metabolism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThere are few reports on bone mineral density (BMD) changes of axial bones after total knee replacement (TKR) due to severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint and its results are controversial. The purpose of our study was to measure the BMD changes of hip and spine in patients receiving TKR due to severe OA and to identify clinical factors relating BMD changes.
methodsAmong 66 female patients above 65 years old who underwent TKR due to severe OA and checked preoperative BMD, 52 patients who checked 1 year follow up BMD were enrolled. We investigated the association of the BMD changes with bilaterality of operation, obesity, preoperative knee functional scores, bisphosphonate medication, and diagnosis of osteoporosis.
resultsWe found no correlation between BMD changes and bilaterality of operation, obesity, preoperative knee functional scores and diagnosis of osteoporosis. Spine BMD increased in non-treatment and bisphosphonate treatment group but total hip BMD significantly increased in bisphosphonate treatment group.
conclusionsBisphosphonate treatment for 1 year prevents early reduction of hip BMD just after TKR regardless osteoporosis diagnosis. We considered that the bisphosphonate medication would be beneficial to prevention of later hip fracture in elderly patient receiving TKR due to severe OA of knee joints.
