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
We report a novel case of the simultaneous post and cone fractures of a polyethylene (PE) insert in a mobile-bearing posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty. Twelve years after the primary total knee arthroplasty, the 72-year-old male patient presented with a recurring right knee instability and was diagnosed with the wear of the PE insert based on physical and radiological examinations. Revision surgery was performed. The post and cone of the PE insert had fractured simultaneously. Moreover, the femoral and tibial components were in direct contact with each other. One year post-revision, knee function had improved. To diagnose a PE breakage, such as a post or cone fracture, surgeons should consider the possibility of PE breakage even in the absence of pain since patients might complain of subjective instability only.
