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

Patella resurfacing in total knee replacement (TKR) has been shown to reduce the rate of anterior knee pain, but there are complications from patella resurfacing. A 54-year-old male underwent a left primary TKR with patella resurfacing 15 years ago. He developed spontaneous progressive anterior knee pain for six months. At revision surgery, his patella button was found to be loose. Loosening of a three-peg patella button is rare. A high index of suspicion of patella button loosening should be suspected in patients who present with anterior knee pain after patella resurfacing.
