Current Reconstruction Options in Periprosthetic Fractures Around the Knee.
Review in Geriatric orthopaedic surgery & rehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundPeriprosthetic fractures are a rare complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the incidence of these fractures is growing after the increasing number of TKAs performed every year and the progressive aging of the population. In addition, the surgical treatment and peri-operative management of these complications are demanding, representing a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. SIGNIFICANCE: A thorough understanding of these fractures and a correct classification are necessary in order to select the most suitable surgical treatment. The aim of this review was to analyze the epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and outcomes of periprosthetic knee fractures in order to give an exhaustive overview.
resultsReduction and internal fixation with locking plates or intramedullary nails represents the preferred option in case of a stable prosthetic implant. Conversely, in case of loose tibial and/or femoral component, implant revision is mandatory. Conservative treatment is rarely indicated.
conclusionA deep understanding of the characteristics and patterns of periprosthetic knee fractures, and the determination of the stability of the prosthetic implant are necessary in order to establish the correct treatment.
