Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are well-established operative interventions in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, which intervention is more beneficial to patients with knee osteoarthritis remains unknown and a topic of much debate. Simultaneously, there is a paucity of research assessing the relationship between radiographic parameters of knee joint alignment and patient-reported clinical outcomes, preoperatively and following HTO or UKA.
aimTo compare UKAs and HTOs as interventions for medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis: Examining differences in clinical outcome and investigating the relationship of joint alignment with respect to this.
methodsThis longitudinal observational study assessed a total of 42 patients that had undergone UKA (
resultsStatistical analyses demonstrated significant (
conclusionUKAs and HTOs are both efficacious operations that provide a comparable degree of clinical benefit to patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Clinical outcome has a limited association with radiographic parameters of knee joint alignment postoperatively; however, a more distolaterally angled Mikulicz line appears associated with worse knee function/health-related quality of life preoperatively.
