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

The mobile bearing Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Prosthesis (OUKP) is the most commonly used treatment of osteoarthritis confined to 1 compartment of the knee. Dislocation of the mobile bearing is an uncommon but recognized complication of the OUKP. Patients typically present with severe pain and reduced range of motion of the affected knee. Radiological evaluation of OUKP can be challenging and requires knowledge of the prosthesis components and common complication patterns. Dislocation of the bearing can easily be overlooked on plain radiographs as the bearing is radiolucent, distinguished only by radiopaque markers. Further imaging in particular with CT may be required to adequately evaluate for prosthesis complications. Advances in prosthesis design and surgical technique may reduce the rate of bearing dislocation.
