Massive Hemorrhagic Blisters following Bilateral Total Knee Replacement: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Skin blisters occur due to increased shear forces at the dermo-epidermal junction. They are classified as clear and hemorrhagic blisters. Blisters occur due to trauma, compartment syndrome, and vascular deficits. We present a case report of hemorrhagic blister formation following bilateral total knee replacement. Case Report: A 64-year-old male with bilateral advanced osteoarthritis of the knees underwent bilateral total knee replacement in the same sitting. Surgery was done under strict aseptic precautions and tourniquet control. The procedure went uneventfully. Postoperatively, on the 2nd day, the patient developed massive hemorrhagic blisters around the operated site in both legs. Doppler scans showed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis. The blisters were managed by intravenous antibiotic coverage and soft, non-adherent collagen dressings. The blisters healed and reepithelialized by 3 weeks. A range of motion exercise was initiated on the 2nd post-operative day, as tolerated. At the final follow-up of 1 year, the patient had satisfactory Oxford Knee Scores. Conclusion: Non-adhesive dressings, prophylactic intravenous antibiotics, and effective rehabilitation are the keystones in the management of patients with hemorrhagic blisters following total knee replacement.
