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
purposeVery few studies focus on lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty (LUKA) in the setting of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The hypothesis of our study is that LUKA is an effective procedure for isolated lateral PTOA with similar outcomes to non-traumatic LUKA.
methodsBetween 1990 and 2016, eighteen LUKA performed for isolated lateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis secondary to tibial plateau fracture were retrospectively reviewed (post-traumatic group) and matched with a control group of thirty-six LUKA performed for non-traumatic OA. Clinical (International Knee Score), radiological outcomes and revision rate were compared between the two groups with a minimum follow-up of three years.
resultsWith a mean follow-up of 10.1 years, postoperative IKS scores were similar between the two groups (IKS Knee: 89.1 (control) versus 85 (p = 0.03) and IKS Function: 85.9 (control) versus 77.9 (n.s.). Clinical improvement was greater for the post-traumatic group. No difference was observed with regard to revision rate (3/18 (16.7%) cases in the post-traumatic group and 7/36 (19.4%) in the control group, n.s.) or polyethylene wear per year between the two groups. The revision free-survival rate was 64.8% for the post-traumatic group and 58.8% for the control group at 22-year follow-up (n.s.).
conclusionLUKA is an effective procedure at long-term for patients suffering from isolated lateral PTOA with similar clinical and radiographic results compared to LUKA performed for non-traumatic OA and without increased risk of revision or prosthetic wear. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
