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

Tibiofemoral dislocation can be a devastating complication after total knee arthroplasty. Much of the literature on tibiofemoral dislocations state they result from iatrogenic causes, with a very limited number of case reports on traumatic dislocation. Most of the time, these cases will require surgical revision and increased constraint to treat the inherent instability. In addition, collateral ligament disruption increases the complexity of the treatment algorithm for these patients. We report the case of a lateral tibiofemoral total knee arthroplasty dislocation with associated medial collateral ligament injury treated successfully without surgical interventions.
