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

Obtaining alignment during end-stage knee osteoarthritis with extraarticular deformities has always been challenging. Therefore, we report a case of total knee arthroplasty, following the application of Taylor Spatial Frame to treat knee osteoarthritis with severe tibia extraarticular deformity due to a proximal tibia fracture injury for more than 50 years ago. First, proximal tibial opening wedge osteotomy was conducted below the patellar tendon insertion from the anterior to the posterior direction to correct the deformity in multiple planes gradually. Then, osteotomy was done to restore both the varus and recurvatum deformities. Finally, Taylor Spatial Frame was used as a virtual hinge, with gradual adjustments to correct the deformity. Afterward, patient-specific instrumentation-assisted total knee arthroplasty was conducted after correcting the extraarticular deformity. During the two-year follow-up, no superficial and deep infection occurred, and his Oxford Knee Score had improved from 32 to 19 out of 48 at the time of the latest follow-up. Moreover, the patient walked using a one-hand clutch without protective limping. Hence, patient-specific instrumentation-assisted total knee arthroplasty, following proximal tibial osteotomy with Taylor Spatial Frame, should be considered a treatment option for patients with knee osteoarthritis having severe proximal tibia extraarticular deformity.
