Outcomes of lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, a retrospective comparative study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04198389 (Retrospective Clinical and Functional Evaluation of Patients Undergoing Knee Replacement With Small Implants), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeWe asked whether the clinical and radiographic outcomes and survivorship after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for osteoarthritis (OA) consequent to lateral tibial plateau fracture were comparable with those obtained after lateral UKA for primary OA.
methodsA total of 13 patients receiving lateral UKA for OA secondary to tibial plateau fracture (post-traumatic UKA, P-UKA) were compared with 13 patients who underwent lateral UKA for primary OA (OA-UKA). Patients were matched for age at surgery, gender, body mass index, and follow-up length. Pre- and post-operative clinical and radiographic assessments included clinical (KSS-c) and functional (KSS-f) Knee Society Score, Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angle, and signs of osteolysis.
resultsMean follow-up was similar in both groups: 9.9 ± 4.6 years for P-UKA and 9.3 ± 2.4 years for OA-UKA. The two way ANOVA procedure followed by the Bonferroni multiple comparisons test highlighted a baseline difference in KSS-c with P-UKA having greater scores than OA-UKA (+ 12; p < 0.05) and both groups showed large improvements in KSS-c (p < 0.001), KSS-f (p < 0.001), and HKA angle (p < 0.001) at follow-up. The nine year prosthesis survival rate, tested by the Kaplan-Meier methods, was 92% in both groups.
conclusionLateral UKA for OA secondary to tibial plateau fracture was efficient in restoring joint function, improving clinical results, and correcting lower limb alignment. Clinical outcomes and nine year survivorship did not differ from lateral UKA for primary OA. Consequently, lateral UKA should be considered a valid option in treating lateral posttraumatic OA in carefully selected patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ( clinicaltrials.gov ) NCT04198389.
