Tibial Lateral Condyle Fracture After Cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA): A Report of Four Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has a lower rate of radiolucency in postoperative follow-up than cemented UKA. However, the rate of tibial plateau fracture, one of the complications, has been reported to be higher in cementless UKA than in cemented UKA. We report four cases of postoperative tibial lateral condyle fractures after cementless Oxford UKA. Four patients underwent cementless Oxford UKA. Immediate postoperative radiography and CT showed no fracture lines. At five to six weeks postoperatively, MRI showed a fracture line from the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse tibial osteotomies through the lateral pinhole to the end of the lateral tibial diaphysis. At three months, bone union was observed without surgical treatments. Lateral tibial fracture after cementless Oxford UKA has a good clinical course without the need for surgical intervention. Medial fractures should thus be more actively prevented. MRI is useful for less symptomatic tibial lateral condyle fractures.
