Impact of Preoperative Total Knee Arthroplasty on Radiological and Clinical Outcomes of Spinal Fusion for Concurrent Knee Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Diseases.
Article 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 6 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
Concurrent knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and degenerative lumbar spinal disease (LSD) has increased, but the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) effect on degenerative LSD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze to compare radiological and clinical outcomes between spinal fusion only and preoperative TKA with spinal fusion for the patients with concurrent KOA and degenerative LSD. A total of 72 patients with concurrent KOA and degenerative LSDs who underwent spinal fusion at less than three levels were divided in two groups: non-TKA group (
