Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to patients with a ligamentous deficiency can cause biomechanically poor outcomes.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeThe aims of this study were to investigate the biomechanical effects of the deficiency of the collateral ligament and cruciate ligament in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in normal and varus knee patients using computational simulation.
methodsValidated finite-element (FE) models for conditions of various cruciate and collateral ligament deficiencies were developed to evaluate the biomechanical effects of ligamentous deficiency in UKA for normal and varus knee patients. Contact stresses on the polyethylene (PE) insert, contact stresses on the lateral articular cartilage, and quadriceps force were analyzed under gait-loading conditions.
resultsContact stresses on the PE insert and lateral articular cartilage as well as quadriceps force in a normal knee UKA FE model were increased in the order of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency, medial collateral ligament (MCL) deficiency, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) deficiency, and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) deficiency in the stance phase of gait cycle, as compared with those in the model without ligamentous deficiency. In two or more multiple ligamentous deficiencies, contact stresses on the PE insert and articular lateral cartilage and quadriceps force were significantly increased versus in the case of single-ligament deficiency.
conclusionPoor outcomes of medial UKA in patients with ACL or MCL deficiency can be predicted. Care should be taken to extend the indications when performing medial UKA in patients with ligamentous deficiency, especially when varus knee with ACL or MCL deficiency is present.
