Cerebral and pulmonary fat embolism after unilateral total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Fat embolism syndrome is the presence of a fatty embolus in the circulatory system that can manifest itself in multiple ways, ranging from asymptomatic presentation to respiratory failure, neurocognitive deficits, and death. It is a relatively common complication after procedures or conditions such as orthopaedic surgery, severe burns, liver injury, closed-chest cardiac massage, and liposuction. This pathology is relatively common in the field of orthopaedics, especially in long bone fractures and procedures such as total hip replacements. It is typically an exclusion diagnosis, and the management is supportive care. In this report, we present a case of a 63-year-old patient who, during a cemented total knee replacement, presented with fat embolism syndrome with neurological and pulmonary manifestations, and subsequently made a complete recovery at discharge.
