Knee Arthrodesis Using the Masquelet Technique for Postoperative Uncontrolled Infection and Extensor Mechanism-Deficient Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Cureus, 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
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical procedure known for its favorable long-term outcomes. However, postoperative infection poses significant treatment challenges and may lead to severe complications. This case involves a 55-year-old woman who developed a patellar fracture following TKA, complicated by deep infection after osteosynthesis and accompanied by loss of extensor mechanism. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, the treatment process proved difficult. Ultimately, knee arthrodesis with bilateral plates was performed using the Masquelet technique. The postoperative course was favorable, with successful bone union achieved. Although the patient experienced a leg length discrepancy, she regained the ability to walk short distances. Knee arthrodesis employing the Masquelet technique proved effective for infection control, bone regeneration, and management of extensor mechanism deficiency, making it a viable treatment option for managing postoperative infections after TKA.
