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

Spontaneous insufficiency fracture of the knee is a potentially devastating yet poorly understood disease entity that can lead to secondary osteoarthritis. Most cases involve the medial femoral condyle, and the lateral femoral condyle is rarely affected. The optimal treatment for spontaneous insufficiency fracture of the lateral femoral condyle remains undetermined, and there are no previous dedicated reports on treatment outcome with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. A middle-aged lady presented with subacute left knee pain and a locked knee. Subsequent imaging studies revealed a spontaneous insufficiency fracture of the lateral femoral condyle. In view of the isolated compartment involvement, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty was performed with satisfactory outcome. At 1 year postoperatively, the patient had complete resolution of knee pain and was able to resume working.
