Catastrophic Tibial Baseplate Fracture in the TC-PLUS™ Total Knee System: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
The number of patients having total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is advancing rapidly. The outcome of this rapid development is an increase in revision TKA (rTKA). A rare indication for rTKA is implant failure, most notably fracture of the tibial baseplate. The pathway leading to the fracture is based upon the theory of the cantilever effect between the supported and unsupported tray. This phenomenon can be a result of chronic osteolysis due to malalignment of implants and insufficient ligament balance, or in shorter postoperative time due to undersizing of the implants in combination with false placement, which leads to inadequate cortical support. This paper presents a case of tibial tray fracture occurring 17 years after primary TKA, managed with a hinged revision, along with a literature review of this rare complication.
