Distal Femur Cemented Modular Prosthesis Failure Causing a Medical Device-Related Adverse Event: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A distal femoral cemented modular prosthesis is a viable option for post-bone tumor and limb salvage procedures. The major reasons for implant failures are the poor quality of implants, mechanical stress, biochemical reactions, and extended period of the implant in vivo use. Rare incidences have been reported of distal femur prosthesis implant malfunctioning in a subject having osteosarcoma. Common adverse events associated with implant failure include surgical site infections, swelling, pain, revision of the surgical procedure, cyst formation, and build-up of metal debris on soft tissues. Our case report summarizes gross malfunctioning of a distal femur cemented modular prosthesis experienced by a 24-year-old post-operated osteosarcoma patient who developed excruciating sudden pain and the inability to bear weight on the right leg, with the sudden onset of these symptoms developing while turning in bed.
