Implant Interface Debonding After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A New Cause for Concern?
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundAseptic loosening has long been an associated etiology for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsThis case series investigates commonalities between 9 patients who underwent revision TKA and were found to have complete debonding at the cement-implant interface of a femoral and/or tibial component within the past 2 years.
resultsOnly 3 preoperative radiographs were indicative of aseptic loosening, and all patients had an infectious etiology ruled out.
conclusionsThis case series and other similar reports suggest that there may be a growing concern for debonding as a modern form of aseptic loosening. Further research through American Joint Replacement Registry and other national databases will need to be conducted to better understand if this is truly a new cause for concern after TKA and how it may be best prevented.
