[End-of-stem pain in hip and knee arthroplasty].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
End-of-stem pain after knee and hip arthroplasty with diaphyseal supportive stems is a frequently overlooked and potentially underestimated complication. A commonly recurring clinical phenome is the symptom-free interval after surgery of weeks to months, with new onset of symptoms under stress only later. The patient is often again reliant on walking sticks. End-of-stem pain is a diagnosis of exclusion. Pain is projected into the tip of the stem, and if differential diagnoses such as loosening are excluded, then the patient might be treated with a "bending-plate". Since bone cement has a similar elastic modulus to human cortical bone, a change of method to a cemented implant can also be expedient. In the primary situation, in addition to cemented stems, the use of "split-stems" could be useful. After revision surgery of any kind, a timely cessation of pain confirms the diagnosis.
