1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Despite the success of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), complications leading to loosening and eventual failure can arise. While infection, instability, and aseptic loosening are some of most common causes of UKA and TKA failure, one of the less common reasons is delayed hypersensitivity reactions. While most allergic reactions are hypersensitivity reactions to metal, hypersensitivity reactions to other materials used in the procedure, such as polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, have begun to gain more attention in recent years. In this case report, we explore the unique instance of a patient who required a revision of a cemented UKA to TKA due to severe pain likely caused by a confirmed polymethylmethacrylate allergy.
