Knee and Hip Joint Replacement Surgery in a Patient with Ochronotic Arthropathy: Surgical Tips.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Ochronosis or black joints disorder is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase. Orthopaedic manifestations are common and mostly involve spine and large joints such as knee and hip. Arthropathy is progressive and will eventually leads to arthroplasty. Not being familiar with this disorder might lead to devastating complications. We present a 57 year-old woman with Ochronosis who successfully underwent cemented cruciated substituted knee replacement and cementless hip replacement. Proper orthopaedic and anesthetic pre-operative preparation, soft tissue specially patella tendon management throughout operation and meticulous bleeding control during surgery are crucial. The results of the knee and the hip replacement surgery in this patient are satisfactory, after 24 months and 18 months follow-up, respectively. If Orthopaedic surgeons and anesthesiologists are well prepared, the outcome of joint replacement in Ochronosis patients will be as satisfactory as patients with primary osteoarthritis.
