No differences in 10-year clinical outcomes and quality of life between patients with different mediolateral femoral component positions in fixed-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThere has been a paucity of literature evaluating the role of mediolateral femoral component position (FCP) in medial unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA). Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether the mediolateral FCP in UKA will affect the 10-year clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients who underwent medial UKA.
methodsData of 262 patients who underwent medial UKA were analyzed. All patients were assessed at 6 months, 2 years and 10 years using the Knee Society Function Score, Knee Society Knee Score, Oxford Knee Score, Short-Form 36 Physical/Mental Component Scores and postoperative satisfaction. The mediolateral FCP on postoperative radiographs was measured by independent assessors using the Picture Archiving and Communication Systems. 144 patients were distributed into group C (center), 98 into group M (medial) and 20 into group L (lateral) according to FCP, and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the functional outcomes of the three groups.
resultsNo statistical differences were found between the three groups in terms of 10-year clinical outcomes, quality of life, satisfaction rates and revision rates.
conclusionDifferences in mediolateral FCP did not result in significant difference in 10-year postoperative clinical outcomes for patients who underwent fixed-bearing medial UKAs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective study, Level III.
