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

Tibial Periprosthetic fractures (PPF) after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncommon and mainly occur after trauma. Various management options have been proposed; however, the decision mainly relies on the location of the fracture and the tibial baseplate stability and ranges between conservative (non-operative), fracture fixation, and revision TKA. We report a case of a 79-year-old female patient who presented with atraumatic lateral tibial plateau PPF (Felix type ⅠB) with a loose tibial implant after three weeks of having left primary TKA. The patient was treated successfully by revising the tibial component using a stemmed tibial baseplate and reconstructing the tibial bone defect using two metal wedges. The radiological, functional, and PROM outcomes were satisfactory and accepted both early on (eight weeks) and at the last follow-up (six months). Atraumatic insufficiency Felix type ⅠB PPF of the lateral tibial plateau after primary TKA is uncommon. Reconstructing the tibial bone defect, revising the tibial component, and adding a stem to offload the tibial plateau are the treatments of choice that lead to acceptable outcomes.
