A Successful Case of TKA With Complex Deformity And Retained Hardware Using Computer Navigation.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2022. 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
We present a case report of a 60-year-old Caucasian female patient, who had undergone a series of procedures for a periprosthetic (after total hip arthroplasty) Vancouver C type diaphyseal fracture of the right femur (reverse distal femoral locking compression plate [LCP] osteosynthesis, then a corrective osteotomy with another distal femoral LCP osteosynthesis). Subsequently, she developed high-grade osteoarthrosis of the right knee, indicated for a total knee arthroplasty. Considering the extent of previous procedures, which had significantly compromised the bone quality of the femur and therefore increased the risk of a refracture after an eventual hardware removal, we decided to retain the LCP plate. We concluded that the optimal solution would be the use of a computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty. This procedure obviated the need for intramedullary guiding, while ensuring optimal joint alignment. No postoperative complications emerged.
