Revision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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) is a surgical procedure for managing osteoarthritis of one joint compartment, most commonly the medial side. This systematic review investigates the causes of UKA revision. The outcomes of interest were establishing the revision rate, time to revision, and the most common causes of revision in the long- and midterm follow-up.
methodsThis study was conducted according to the 2020 PRISMA statement. In October 2024, the following databases were accessed: PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Embase. All the clinical studies investigating the rate and causes of revision in UKA were accessed. Only studies with a minimum of 10 years of follow-up were considered.
resultsData from 56 studies (13,540 patients) were collected. Of them, 65.6% were women. The mean length of the follow-up was 13.1 ± 3.0 years. The mean age of the patients was 65.6 ± 5.6 years, and the mean BMI was 28.5 ± 2.2 kg/m
conclusion8.8% (2641 of 30,140) of UKAs were revised at a mean time of 6.5 ± 2.6 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review.
