1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSpondyloepiphyseal dysplasia is the clinical term applied to a group of rare genetic disorders with primary involvement of the vertebrae and epiphyses, predisposing the afflicted individuals toward the premature development of osteoarthritis. There are few reports concerning joint replacement therapy in these patients, particularly describing the role of total hip arthroplasty. In this report, we describe the anatomical and technical aspects of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia that must be considered during surgical planning and performance of total knee arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year old woman with a history of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia suffered from severe osteoarthritis of the knee and irreducible congenital dislocation of the patella. After careful preoperative evaluations and planning, the knee joint deformity was solved by knee joint replacement with realignment of the extensor mechanism using quadricepsplasty. After 2 years of surgery, the patient showed no pain and was able to walk with the help of elbow crutches. The Hospital for Special Surgery knee score increased from preoperative 51 points to 85 points during the final follow-up. The postoperative range of motion increased to final flexion of 0-115°.

conclusionThe advances made so far in the medical care for patients with skeletal dysplasia have improved their overall survival during adulthood. The case report described herein demonstrates the numerous challenges and technical aspects of a successful total knee arthroplasty in cases of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, highlighting the need to consider skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities of skeletal dysplasia during the planning and performance of joint replacement surgery.
