Early migration in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a radiostereometric study of 26 patients with 24 months of follow-up.

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
background and purposeAseptic loosening, mainly caused by migration, is one of the most common indications for revisions in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). In this study, we investigated the early migration of the Persona Partial Knee (PPK, Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN), a cemented medial fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee prosthesis, and evaluated the clinical results. PATIENTS AND
methods26 primary PPKs were implanted. Radiographs were obtained direct postoperatively, at 6 weeks, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. Migration of the femoral and tibial component was calculated using model-based radiostereophotogrammetric analysis (mRSA) in terms of translations and rotations. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were also registered.
resultsAt 24 months postoperatively, we found low migration of both the femoral and tibial component in the first 6 months, after which both components stabilized. Only the rotation of the tibial component about the z-axis did not stabilize. All PROMs improved after 24 months compared with preoperative PROMs.
conclusionThe Persona Partial Knee shows low migration of both the femoral and tibial component and PROMs were improved at 24 months follow-up. Long-term follow-up is needed to investigate the performance of the prosthesis compared with other prostheses.
