Metallosis and Corrosion Associated With Revision Total Knee Arthroplasties With Metaphyseal Sleeves.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Metallosis and corrosion have been associated with metal-on-metal and modular total hip arthroplasty but are rarely described in the setting of primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this series, we report on cases of metallosis due to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion at modular junctions of machined trunnion-bore tapers in a revision TKA system with metaphyseal sleeves. The unique design of metal modular junctions used in sleeve-based revision TKA, along with potential patient and surgical factors, may predispose these designs to fretting, corrosion, and adverse reaction to metal debris. We now consider metallosis and corrosion in the workup of painful or failed revision TKAs with sleeves. Future studies that investigate the incidence of this phenomenon may be warranted.
