High survivorship rate and good clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up for lateral UKA: a systematic literature review.
Synthesis in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this paper is to systematically review the available literature to understand the effectiveness, the survivorship, the clinical outcomes and the complications of lateral UKA.
methodsA review of the current literature available about lateral UKA was performed in March 2020, according to the PRISMA guidelines. Selection was based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) clinical reports of any level of evidence, (2) written in English language, (3) published from 1996 to 2020, (4) dealing with clinical data on lateral UKA. A total of 47 articles, published between 1996 and 2020, were included in the review. Quality of every article was assessed using the Modified Coleman Methodology Score.
resultsA total of 47 studies were included. Mean mCMS was 45.27 (range 30-62). Mean age at surgery was 64.5 years (range 34.1-88.0 years). In 1741 patients (65.5%) a metal back implant was used and in 421 patients (15.8%) an all poly design was used. Several scores were used to evaluate clinical results (OKS, AKSS, IKS, KOOS, WOMAC, VAS). Range of motion improved with an overall mean value of 120.3° (range: 105.9°-143.3°). The mean follow-up was 60.7 months (range, 7-204 months), mean survivorship (absence of a revision) with a minimum 60 months of follow-up was 88.6% (range 74.5-100) and mean satisfaction of patients was 78.5% (range 41.0-97.9).
conclusionsLateral UKA seems to be an effective solution to manage lateral osteoarthritis (OA), based on preliminary results, with survivorship and satisfaction rate comparable to medial UKA and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Nonetheless, this review highlights that the quality of studies available in current literature is low. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Systematic review of level IV studies.
