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

backgroundUnicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an established surgical treatment option for end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis with excellent functional outcomes and implant survival. Routine preoperative varus and valgus stress views are crucial for the selection of patients for unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty. THERAPY: UKA is a soft-tissue based operation that aims to reconstruct the individual joint line and pre-arthritic alignment by restoring the physiological tension of the medial collateral and the cruciate ligaments.

resultsCurrent data for medial UKA show excellent results for both mobile and fixed bearing implant designs with the correct indication and surgical technique. Cementless fixation offers potential advantages over cemented implants. Registry data demonstrate that institutions and surgeons specializing in partial knee replacement (> 30 cases/year per surgeon, > 100/year per institution) with a high percentage of UKA relative to the total number of knee implants (> 20%) have significantly lower revision rates.
