Operating Room Fire During Total Knee Arthroplasty Tibial Impaction: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
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
A fire in the operating room is a rare but potentially deadly occurrence. We present an operating room fire during an elective total knee arthroplasty with an unclear ignition source. Flames were visualized originating from the excess bone cement while impacting the tibial component. The electrocautery device was not in use during impaction and was in a plastic sheath at the head of the bed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an operating room fire involving bone cement not caused by an electrocautery device.
