Unicondylar knee arthroplasty: Key concepts.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The concept of unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been described as early as 1950s following the introduction of the MacIntosh and McKeever hemiarthroplasty. With improvements in implant design, patient selection, and surgical technique, there has been an increase in utilization of UKA as a less-invasive alternative to total joint arthroplasty for the treatment of localized symptomatic osteoarthritis. The purpose of this review article is to highlight five trending concepts in UKA based on current evidence: bearing design, fixation technique, medial vs. lateral UKA, implant survivorship, and revision surgery.
