[Total knee arthroplasty in the young patient-an update].
Review in Der Orthopade, 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
The absolute number of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) continues to rise every year. About 10% of the patients are less than 55 years of age, although it is known that functional results and patient satisfaction are lower combined with an increased likelihood of revision compared to older patients. Higher physical activity and patient expectations are a major challenge in this age group. At the same time, the incidence of posttraumatic/postoperative alterations is high, including ligamentous or bony deficiencies, which can make the surgical procedure challenging. In view of these facts conservative treatments and joint sparing procedures should always be considered first. The potential correction of lower-limb deformities and unicompartmental knee arthroplasties need to be carefully evaluated before considering total knee arthroplasty. Only in advanced cases of osteoarthritis in more than one compartment of the knee of with combined ligamentous instability, can a TKA provide satisfactory results in the young patient. However, the strongest predictor of satisfaction is a realistic expectation.
