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

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been established as a very successful and commonly performed procedure for primary and secondary osteoarthritis, and also for inflammatory arthropathies of the knee in all age groups and both genders. It has predominantly been used as a procedure in the age group of patients 65 years and above. Consequently, the literature is replete with data relevant to various issues associated with TKA in the above 65 years age group population. Although there is reasonable clarity and consensus on the broad parameters of the use of TKA in the above 65 years age group (older), this cannot be said for the same issue as relevant to the below 65 years age group (young adults). Over the last 2 decades there has been an increasing tendency toward the use of TKA in young adults, with some countries reporting a 5-fold increase in the last 10 years [1]. The present article is designed to review the most recent literature specific to this subject and assess it vis-à-vis various issues as listed in the subsequent text, with the aim of highlighting evolving thoughts and trends, which could be useful for decision making by clinicians practicing in the community.
