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

Fracture of the polyethylene tibial post is a rare complication of posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty and is frequently missed on conventional radiography due to the radiolucent nature of polyethylene. We report a case of post-traumatic instability in which computed tomography demonstrated a displaced polyethylene fragment with characteristic low attenuation values. The diagnosis was confirmed intraoperatively, and isolated polyethylene exchange resulted in a good clinical outcome.
