Radiocapitellar Arthroplasty: Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of shoulder and elbow arthroplasty, 2023. 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
Introduction: Primary elbow osteoarthritis affects approximately 2% of the population, and has been treated with arthroplasty. However, total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) implants currently have severe weight limitations and issues with longevity. In patients with unicompartmental arthritis, unicompartmental arthroplasty may be used instead of TEA. We describe the use of Uni-Elbow Radio-Capitellum and Lateral Resurfacing Elbow for radiocapitellar arthroplasty (RCA) in this article. Methods: Reviewers independently searched databases for keywords, such as radiocapitellar arthroplasty, RCA, uni-elbow radiocapitellum, UNI-E, and lateral resurfacing elbow, LRE. The measured outcomes of interest were the change in motion arc and patient-reported outcome scores. Studies that were not of appropriate quality determined by the Cochrane risk of bias summary tool and review studies were excluded. Results: RCA resulted in a postoperative 38.3° ± 28.5° increase in elbow flexion-extension ( Conclusion: RCA has shown promise as an option to treat radiocapitellar arthritis, particularly when excising the radial head causes lateral column instability.
