Current concepts of medial unicompartmental knee replacement: part 1 history and actual indications.
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 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
Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been introduced in the fifties to treat patients with medial tibio-femoral osteoarthritis. Initial reports, showed encouraging functional outcomes, tempered by high loosening rates. With advances in the materials and prosthetic designs UKA has become common, representing more than 11% of all knee replacement surgeries and growing at a rate of 32.5% per year. This fast increase is the consequence of the new radiographic, clinical and patient-related indications. In the past, indications were strict although not universally accepted with several grey zones. More recently, indications have expanded, but there is consensus on the different aspects. The present fist-part comprehensive review focuses on the indications for medial UKA analyzing practical aspects such as patient activity and age, BMI, coronal alignment ligament competency, patella-femoral osteoarthritis, other compartments involvement with a comparison between historical approach and modern evidence. Hot topics and future directions will be discussed in the second-part of the review.
