Sister, Sister! Siblings With Simultaneous Early Femoral Insufficiency Fractures After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Early periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty are rare but devastating complications which require revision surgery and lead to poor patient satisfaction. We present 2 siblings who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty on the same day and then both presented 2 weeks after surgery with atraumatic periprosthetic femur fractures. The first patient underwent revision for a cemented distal femoral replacement with stemmed tibial fixation. The second patient underwent an isolated femoral component revision with a stemmed femoral component and distal augment. Histological evaluation identified significant peri-implant osteoporosis. The variation in complexity associated with early periprosthetic femoral insufficiency fractures is highlighted by these 2 cases. Surgeons may consider using stemmed femoral components in similar patients if poor distal femoral bone stock is encountered intraoperatively.
