Elbow Arthroplasty: A Concise Literature Update.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is increasingly used, especially in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and distal humerus fractures (DHFs). This narrative review of the recent literature published in 2022 reached the following conclusions: 1) Age greater than 80 is not a contraindication for TEA. 2) The estimated 10-year survival reported for linked TEAs is 92%, and unlinked TEAs 84%. 3) For DHFs in the elderly, regarding the flexion/extension arc, TEA gives substantially better results than open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The reoperation and elbow stiffness rates are substantially lower in TEA than in ORIF. 4) Comparing distal humeral hemiarthroplasty (DHH) vs. TEA in individuals over 65 years with a non-reconstructable DHF favors DHH regarding the range of motion but with a similarly high rate of adverse events in the two surgical techniques. 5) The rate of eradication of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is 69-76% with two-stage, 71% with resection arthroplasty, 67% with one-stage, 58% with DAIR, and 40% with elbow arthrodesis.
