1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionMedial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is considered the most effective treatment for anteromedial knee osteoarthritis. Cementless fixation of UKA was developed to reduce aseptic loosening. We performed a review of the recent literature to assess the latest outcomes of cementless UKA.

methodsA review of English literature was performed on Medline through Pubmed. Retrospective or prospective studies with at least 2 years of follow-up (FU) and at least 20 patients were included. The PRISMA 2009 flowchart and checklist were considered to edit the review. Survival rate, revision rate, time for revision, incidence of radiolucent lines and reasons for revision (such as aseptic loosening, osteoarthritis progression, bearing dislocation or periprosthetic fracture) were extrapolated from the papers.

resultsNineteen articles were included in the review, only 2 with a level of evidence of I. A total of 3432 UKA with a FU range of 24-132 months were analyzed. The studies showed good clinical and functional outcomes. In 12 studies, survival rate were more than 90%. Revision rate for aseptic loosening were lower than 2% for 15 studies.

conclusionCementless UKA represents a surgical option allowing low revision rate. Further high-quality long-term studies would better clarify complications, clinical and radiological results of this promising fixation method.
