Eczematous Neurodermatitis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: Expanding Awareness of a Rare and Underdiagnosed Postoperative Dermatologic Complication.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
SKINTED (surgery of the knee, injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve, traumatic eczematous dermatitis) is a recently described dermatological condition resulting from injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) during knee surgery. This rare and underdiagnosed surgical complication characteristically presents as an eczematous eruption within an area of altered skin sensation in the distribution of IPBSN innervation. We describe a case of SKINTED in a 64-year-old female patient who presented with localized dermatitis, severe pruritus, intermittent pain, and mild numbness of her knee six months following total knee arthroplasty. Dermatologic evaluation led to a clinical diagnosis of SKINTED, and treatment with topical corticosteroids successfully resolved her symptoms. This case reinforces the need to consider SKINTED in appropriate patients. Increased awareness of this condition among both dermatologists and orthopedic surgeons can prevent misdiagnoses and unnecessary use of antibiotics, biopsies, and imaging, as well as help alleviate patient anxiety.
