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

Objective: To summarize the effectiveness of bone cement combined with screws for repairing tibial plateau defect in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Between March 2013 and March 2016, 30 patients were treated with TKA and bone cement combined with screws for repairing tibial plateau defect. Of the 30 patients, 8 were male and 22 were female, with an average age of 64.7 years (range, 55-71 years). And 17 cases were involved in left knees and 13 cases in right knees; 22 cases were osteoarthritis and 8 cases were rheumatoid arthritis. The disease duration ranged from 9 to 27 months (mean, 14 months). Knee Society Score (KSS) was 41.63±6.76. Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) was 38.10±7.00. The varus deformity of knee were involved in 19 cases and valgus deformity in 11 cases. According to the Rand classification criteria, tibial plateau defect were rated as type Ⅱb. Results: All incisions healed by first intention, without infection or deep vein thrombosis. All the patients were followed up 27.5 months on average (range, 10-42 months). At last follow-up, HSS score was 90.70±4.18 and KSS score was 93.20±3.75, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative values ( Conclusion: It is a simple and safe method to repair tibial plateau defect complicated with varus and valgus deformities with bone cement and srews in TKA.
