Total knee arthroplasty for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: A protocol for a systematic review of randomized controlled trial.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a very tricky orthopedic condition. If it can not be treated fairly well, it may greatly affect quality of life in patients with RA, and even can cause disability. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has reported to treat patients with RA effectively. However, no study has systematically explored its efficacy and complications for patients with RA.
methodsSeven databases will be searched from their inceptions to the present without any language restrictions: MEDICINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Two authors will carry out all study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment independently.
resultsThe primary outcome of joint pain will be measured by any pain scales, such as visual analogue scale. The secondary outcomes will include joint function, quality of life, and postoperative adverse events. The joint function will be measured by The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, or other relevant scales. The quality of life will be assessed by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey or any related tools. In addition, postoperative adverse events will also be analyzed.
conclusionsThe findings of this study will summarize the latest existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of TKA for patients with RA. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study does not need ethical approval, because it will not analyze individual data. The results of this study are expected to be disseminated at peer-reviewed journals.
