A Case Report: Interposition Arthroplasty for Post-traumatic Elbow Arthritis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Post-traumatic arthritis of elbow is a crippling condition that frequently develops after a serious joint injury. The condition is characterized by pain, rigidity, and diminished functionality, considerably affecting the quality of life of those impacted. Despite advancements in surgical and conservative management, the optimal treatment strategy remains elusive. Case Report: A 31-year-old male presented to us with post-traumatic elbow arthritis with loss of function affecting his activities of daily living, 2 years post a road traffic accident. Radiographs showed a malunited right proximal humerus fracture with arthritic right elbow joints with implants present in situ. As he was a young person with high functional demands, we decided to take him up for elbow interposition arthroplasty. Fascia lata graft was taken and interposed between the prepared ends of the distal humerus and proximal ulna. Intraoperative range of 20-120 degree was possible. One year post-surgery after undergoing rehabilitation therapy, the patient had good clinical function with elbow range of motion between 15 and 110° of flexion. Conclusion: Interposition elbow arthroplasty provides satisfactory functional results in young patients with post-traumatic elbow arthritis.
