Radiographic False Evidence of a Tibial Baseplate Fracture 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 2 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
Fracture of the tibial baseplate is a rare but dramatic cause of typically late fatigue failure in the setting of loosening after total knee arthroplasty. A 58-year-old female presented 4 months after total knee arthroplasty for evaluation of contralateral knee pain. Plain radiographs of the left knee incidentally suggested the possibility of tibial baseplate fracture despite minimal, expected postoperative symptoms. Subsequent computed tomography imaging demonstrated no confirmatory evidence of component failure or fracture. Malalignment and fatigue fracture are proposed etiologies of baseplate fractures. The presented case illustrates the importance of computed tomography imaging and clinical correlation when a diagnosis of baseplate fracture is suspected to avoid an unnecessary revision surgery.
