Joint replacement surgery for elbow tumours: a systematic review of outcomes.
Review in Shoulder & elbow, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTumour resection followed by joint reconstruction is a surgical option in the appropriate patient. The evidence for such reconstructive surgery of the elbow joint is limited. The aim of this study is to review the literature to evaluate the outcomes of joint replacement surgery in tumours of the elbow.
methodsA systematic review of PUBMED and EMBASE databases was conducted. Case series and comparative studies reporting results after total elbow arthroplasty, modular endo-prosthetic replacement and custom prosthesis were eligible for inclusion.
resultsEleven eligible studies were identified (n = 134). At mean follow-up of 44 months, the overall revision rate was 14% and complication rate was 28%. The mean Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 75, with 56% of patients reporting good or excellent outcomes. The mean post-operative range of motion was 97°. DISCUSSION: Elbow prosthesis reconstruction after tumour resection can provide good functional outcomes at mid-term follow-up. The complication and revision rates are comparable to other indications for elbow replacement surgery. Further prospective studies are required to compare outcomes between different elbow arthroplasty options after tumour resection.
