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

Modular components allow for the precise adjustment of sizing and balancing in knee replacement and are widely used in revision total knee arthroplasty. While they have a significant advantage over monoblock implants, these components may be associated with fretting and corrosion at modular junctions. We report the case of a fracture of a morse taper adapter bolt in a 65-year-old female with a history of multiple revision knee arthroplasties. Only a few cases of fracture of the taper adapter bolt have been previously reported. We reinforce 2 learning points in this report: the utility of magnetic resonance imaging as an aid in diagnosing total knee failure when initial radiographs are unremarkable and the use of techniques such as anterior quadrangular femoral osteotomy when an implant is unable to be removed via conventional techniques.
