Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Purpose: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate differences in functional outcomes between simultaneous bi-unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (Bi-UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of medial and lateral knee osteoarthritis. Material and Methods: According to the PRISMA statement, a comprehensive search was conducted to identify studies reporting comparative results of the Bi-UKA versus the TKA. Of 953 titles, 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 286 patients were identified, of which 137 underwent Bi-UKA and 149 TKA. TKA reported a mean hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle of 179.4 ± 2.4 compared to that in Bi-UKA measuring 177.2 ± 2.7 ( Conclusions: When Bi-UKA and TKA are compared for the treatment of medial and lateral knee osteoarthritis, Bi-UKA are favorable in terms of WOMAC and KSS even though these values are lower than the minimum clinically important differences; moreover, similar postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle can be expected 3 years after Bi-UKA and TKA.
