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

This case report outlines some of the challenges as well as limitations in correction of osteoarthritis of the knee in combination with extra-articular deformities,and provides a novel and straightforward surgical solution in overcoming these challenges. We describe the case of a 37-year-old male who suffered from advanced bilateral tri-compartmental knee arthritis due to untreated bloodstream-sourced osteomyelitis after birth. Radiographs and surgery confirmed extremely severe deformities. We performed two different surgical techniques in order to correct extra-articular deformities (one-stage approach of concurrent tibial and femoral osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty on one side, and soft tissue balancing with "pie-crusting technique" plus total knee arthroplasty on the other side), with description of subsequent results at 36-months follow-up.
