Comparison of Frequency and Morbidity of Unilateral Total Knee Replacement Versus Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Replacement.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction Total knee replacement (TKR) is a procedure that is often performed on patients who have advanced osteoarthritis and has become more common. Bilateral TKR can be done at the same time and can save time, anesthesia and cost of multiple procedures. Objective To determine the frequency of unilateral and simultaneous bilateral total knee replacement and then compare their outcomes. Methods A total of 95 patients were included and were divided into two groups, i.e., patients undergoing unilateral TKR were grouped as group A and patients undergoing bilateral TKR were grouped as group B. Then patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia. All patients were followed up in the outpatient department (OPD). During follow-up, patients were evaluated for the outcome, i.e., cardiac event, urinary tract infection and surgical site infection. All this information was recorded on proforma while analyzed in SPSS v. 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). The outcome was compared in both groups by using chi-square test. The P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Results The mean age of patients was 63.00 ± 6.17 years. There were 50 (52.6%) males and 45 (47.4%) females. The mean BMI of females was 27.93 ± 2.43 kg/m
