Role of metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthroplasty: Rationale, indications and long-term outcomes.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Metaphyseal sleeves have become an integral part of surgeons' armamentarium in dealing with complex revision knee arthroplasty. They offer the advantages of addressing bone defects with biological fixation techniques, efficient surgical preparation providing a stable tibial platform which optimises joint line positioning and gap balancing leading to excellent long-term survivorship and clinical outcomes. Here, we review the concept of metaphyseal fixation, indications of metaphyseal sleeves and their limitations with our surgical tips on how to remove well-fixed sleeves. We also present our tertiary experience and review clinical outcome studies of metaphyseal sleeves in revision knee arthroplasty literature.
