Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Dysfunction as a Cause of Persistent Knee Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Series and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure for end-stage osteoarthritis of the tibiofemoral and patellafemoral joints. Despite a good outcome in many patients, persistent knee pain after TKA poses a significant challenge. Proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) osteoarthritis has been seen as a rare cause of such pain. In this case series, we share our experience diagnosing PTFJ dysfunction and managing it with intra-articular ultrasound-guided injections. We demonstrate that PTFJ arthropathy may be a more common cause of chronic post-TKA pain than generally believed.
