Total Knee Arthroplasty After Ipsilateral Below-knee Amputation: A Review of the Literature and Surgical Techniques.
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 5 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
Patients with knee osteoarthritis in the setting of ipsilateral below-knee amputation present a challenge in terms of patient positioning, intraoperative assistance, implant alignment, postoperative rehabilitation, and prosthesis adjustment. This is a report of a patient with a history of below-knee amputation with ipsilateral knee pain due to osteoarthritis, treated with elective total knee arthroplasty. This was done using custom cutting blocks made via preoperative computed tomography scans, and a single assistant as well as a large hip bump and lateral support were used for positioning. The patient was weight-bearing as tolerated in his regular below-knee prosthesis starting from postoperative day 1, with 1 prosthetic adjustment made during the first week of rehabilitation. The patient was pain-free with full range of motion at 1-year follow-up.
