Single-stage Management of Advanced Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis with Stress Fracture of Medial Malleolus.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionStress fractures occur due to abnormal increased or repetitive stress on a normal bone. These have been described in sports persons or military personnel involved in strenuous physical activities. Stress fractures occurring as a result of undue stress due to deviated mechanical axis usually involve the proximal tibia and fibula and have rarely been described in the literature. CASE REPORT: We report a case of the left medial malleolus stress fracture secondary to advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) with severe varus deformities. Mechanical malalignment like severe genu varus deformity is a risk factor for a stress fracture in knee OA. A single-staged management by the surgical treatment of stress fracture, along with the correction of underlying knee deformity by bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty of this case is discussed. We also describe the pathomechanics involved in this injury in the present case report.
conclusionStress fractures associated with knee OA can be found in the ankle as well. Detailed history and clinical examination can help in diagnosing this condition. It is also important to correct the overall mechanical alignment of the knee to provide an adequate environment for fracture healing.
