Preoperative uncorrectable tibiofemoral subluxation can worsen clinical outcomes after fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a retrospective analysis.

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
introductionThe presence of tibiofemoral subluxation (TFS) in patients with unicompartmental arthritis, a potential contraindication to unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), remains controversial and is not commonly discussed. This study aimed to determine the predictability of postoperative TFS before surgery and the effect of TFS on clinical outcomes after fixed-bearing UKA. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn total, 70 patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the knee who underwent fixed-bearing UKA from January 2015 to January 2017 were included. The preoperative TFS was assessed using plain anteroposterior and valgus stress radiographs. The patients were classified into three groups as follows: group A (acceptable TFS, n = 36) comprising patients with preoperative TFS less than 5.0 mm; group C (correctable TFS, n = 17) comprising patients with preoperative TFS of more than 5.0 mm but corrected to less than 5.0 mm under valgus stress; and group U (uncorrectable TFS, n = 17) comprising patients with preoperative TFS of more than 5.0 mm under valgus stress. Patient-derived clinical scores were assessed with the 2011 Knee Society Score preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. The results were compared among the three groups using analysis of variance.
resultsGroup U showed significantly higher postoperative TFS than groups A and C. Improvements in "symptoms" and "patient satisfaction" scores 2 years after surgery were significantly higher in groups A and C than in group U.
conclusionPreoperative assessment of TFS under valgus stress could be a predictor of postoperative TFS. Furthermore, preoperative uncorrectable TFS could increase pain and decrease patient satisfaction 2 years after undergoing fixed-bearing UKA.
