Periprosthetic Femur Fracture Through a Large Osteolytic Lesion After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Osteolysis due to polyethylene wear is a well-known complication associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Here, we present the case of one failure that has been rarely reported. We report the case of a 51-year-old male who fractured through a large osteolytic lesion in his femur after a previous TKA. The patient presented 4 years after revision TKA after a fall and was found to have fractured through the large lesion. After a diagnostic workup, he was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the distal femur fracture, and the fixation was augmented with a morselized femoral head allograft and ViviGen (LifeNet Health, Virginia Beach, VA). Osteolysis secondary to polyethylene wear and reactions to arthroplasty components continues to be an ever-present complication of TKAs.
