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

Recurrent hemarthrosis is a rare complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Its incidence is reported as less than 1%. Most patients present with acute knee pain and swelling in the absence of trauma, resulting in significant loss of function. The authors report a case of recurrent hemarthrosis in a 64-year-old female. She presented with repeated episodes of sudden-onset right knee pain, swelling, and bruising at 18 months after a right TKA. During revision knee surgery, the recurrent hemarthrosis was identified to have been caused by entrapment of hypertrophied knee synovium under the TKA tibial base plate. After excision of the synovial tissue and cementing of the tibial defect, the patient recovered well after surgery with no future recurrences of knee pain and swelling.
