What Opinions Do Tumor Reconstructive Surgeons Have about Sports Activity after Megaprosthetic Replacement in Hip and Knee? Results of the MoReSports Expert Opinion Online Survey.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sports activity has many benefits in cancer survivors. A key one is having sport activity contribute to the well-being of the individual. However, there are no guidelines about the intensity and kind of postoperative mobility workouts after hip or knee megaprosthetic treatment. Opinion research about sports after modular bone and joint replacement may provide an understanding of surgeons' attitudes on sports activity after megaprostheses of the hip and knee joint. A web survey with members of three international professional organizations of orthopedic tumor reconstructive surgeons was conducted between September 2016 and January 2018. Members were invited via personalized emails by the European Musculoskeletal Oncology Society (EMSOS), the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS), and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS). The questionnaire included 26 questions. A total of 149 surgeons started the survey, and 76 finished the entire survey (American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) second response rate (RR2) EMSOS: 12.3%; ISOLS: 21.9%; MSTS: n/a). More than half of the respondents encourage sarcoma survivors after megaprosthetic treatment to reach an activity level that would allow them to regularly participate in active sporting events of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity level 7 and higher. Orthopedic tumor reconstructive surgeons do fear a number of complications (periprosthetic fracture, allograft failure/fracture, loosening, prosthetic or bearing failure, and early polyethylene wear) due to sports activity after modular bone-joint replacement, but they actually witness fewer complications than they conceptually anticipated. According to the surgeons' opinions, between four to seven types of sports after surgery could reasonably be recommended depending on the type of hip or knee procedures. This survey provides insights into opinions on what could be recommended, what could be allowed if surgeons and their patients agree on the potential negative outcome, and which sports should definitely not be allowed after hip and knee megaprostheses.
