Unicompartmental Knee Replacement in Obese Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Thanks to modern surgical techniques and implants, traditional exclusion criteria for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are no longer considered contraindications. The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of obesity on functional outcomes and revision rates of UKA. We performed a comprehensive systematic review using PubMed-Medline, Google Scholar and Cochrane Central. Then, we extracted data related to body mass index (BMI), age and follow-up, functional outcome scores and rate of revisions (all-cause, aseptic and septic). Patients were stratified according to BMI into two groups: non-obese (BMI < 30) and obese (BMI ≥ 30). We identified 22 eligible studies, of which 13 were included in the meta-analysis. Patients with a BMI > 30 had a significantly higher likelihood for revision (
