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

Recurrent hemarthrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an uncommon complication, with an incidence of less than 1%. It can lead to pain, swelling, joint stiffness, and functional impairment. Selective genicular artery embolisation (GAE) has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment for managing such cases. We report the case of a 79-year-old female with recurrent atraumatic hemarthrosis of the left knee following TKA, complicated by long-term anticoagulation with Edoxaban for unprovoked pulmonary embolism. Despite multiple aspirations and arthroscopic washouts, symptoms persisted. Angiography revealed synovial hypervascularity, and GAE was performed to reduce bleeding. Although the procedure initially improved symptoms, recurrence occurred while the patient was maintained on full-dose Edoxaban. Following a multidisciplinary review, the anticoagulant dose was reduced, resulting in complete resolution of haemarthrosis. GAE represents an effective, minimally invasive treatment for recurrent hemarthrosis post-TKA. Anticoagulation management and multidisciplinary coordination are essential to balance bleeding risk and thromboembolic protection in such patients.
