Mortality Rates in Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review 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
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the mortality rates of staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (staBTKA) procedures. This systematic review followed the suggestions and recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020. We performed a primary search in the PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science via Clarivate, and Google Scholar databases. A quantitative data synthesis was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of mortality among patients who underwent staBTKA using the MedCalc® Statistical Software version 20.115 (MedCalc Software Ltd., Ostend, Belgium). The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used for the quality assessment. The study included 29 studies with data from 115,348 patients. The mortality rate was estimated to be 0.34% (95% confidence interval: 0.18% to 0.55%). The data showed significant interstudy heterogeneity (I
