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

When patients with hemophilia and allied disorders (von Willebrand disease and other congenital bleeding disorders) do not receive adequate primary hematologic prophylaxis from infancy, their joints will suffer knee joint degeneration; when such joint degeneration becomes very advanced (painful and disabling) despite previous conservative treatment, the only way to alleviate the problem will be to implant a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The literature has shown that twenty years after implantation, 71% of primary TKAs are still functional; on the other hand, 18% have to be revised as a consequence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The main causes of revision total knee arthroplasty are PJI and aseptic loosening (39% each).
