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

introductionLate presentation of congenital patella dislocation (CPD) with advanced osteoarthritis is very rare. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) provides a valid treatment option for adults with CPD who have absence of the femoral sulcus and associated osteoarthritis. TKA for knee with CPD demand more precise technique because TKA correct the unusual pathologies for primary osteoarthritis, eg, tibial external rotation, absence of femoral groove, patella hypoplasia, and realignment of extensor mechanism. CASE PRESENTATION: This case is a CPD with advanced osteoarthritis of left knee in a seventy-two-year old woman. We used a computer assisted navigation for a restoration of alignment, extension and flexion gap balancing, and mediolateral symmetry in the TKA, and operated it successfully.

conclusionTKA is a useful procedure for osteoarthritis of the knee in association with CPD. In hard case of osteoarthritis with CPD, computer assisted navigation is a useful tool for the TKA.
