Single Peg Patellar Component Fracture in Total Knee Replacement: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered the definitive treatment for advanced degenerative disease in the knee and involves replacing the native joint with prosthetic components. Failure mechanisms have been studied extensively due to the ubiquitous nature of these procedures. In this case report, the failure of a press-fit patellar component in a cementless TKA is investigated as a novel complication. Case Report: A 58-year-old male patient presented to an orthopedic clinic complaining of severe left knee pain with ambulation and associated varus alignment. He underwent X-ray imaging, where clear advanced osteoarthritis was visualized, with complete loss of joint space in the articulation of the medial compartment of the knee. Due to the patient's pain levels and decreased mobility, the patient elected to proceed with a TKA. The patient underwent this procedure without immediate complication until he returned 19-months post-operatively. At this time, X-rays demonstrated a failed patellar component from a shear fracture of the single peg prosthesis. A revision surgery was then completed to resolve this issue. Conclusion: Based on the present reported data on TKA modes of failure, this case describes the first report of a shear fracture of the single peg prosthesis in a cementless TKA.
