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

While adverse local tissue reactions are well described in the total hip arthroplasty literature, there have only been case reports and case series in the total knee arthroplasty literature. There have been no cases described in the setting of a distal femoral replacement. In this case, we describe a 69-year-old female with a complex history of left knee revision arthroplasty with a distal femoral and proximal tibial replacement who presented with left knee pain and was found to have extensive adverse local tissue reaction with corrosion at the femoral stem-extension piece junction and the extension piece-distal femoral component junction. The femoral taper was then manually cleaned and modular components replaced. Corrosion at the stem-distal femoral component junction can result in adverse local tissue reaction in patients with distal femoral replacements. It is important to consider this diagnosis when evaluating patients with knee pain following distal femoral replacement.
