A Cone Stacked on a Cone Within a Cone: A Technique for Reconstructing Proximal Third Tibial Shaft Fractures During Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty is an increasing challenge, especially as younger active patients undergo primary procedures. Treatment options for severe tibial bone loss include cement, allograft, metal augments, metaphyseal cones, sleeves, and megaprostheses. Novel combinations of these have enabled complex limb salvage without resorting to megaprostheses or amputation. This case report presents a technique utilizing three cones-configured in both cone-in-cone and cone-on-cone fashion-to bypass and stabilize a metadiaphyseal fracture during revision total knee arthroplasty. We outline the indications for selecting each construct and explain how to achieve axial and rotational stability in different bone zones using patient-specific cones. This approach provides an alternative to traditional reconstruction methods in complex cases with significant bone loss and periprosthetic fracture.
