Corrosion-Related Failures in Modular Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review of Rare Published Clinical Cases.
Review in JB & JS open access. 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
» Corrosion at modular junctions is a well-known cause of failure in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty, but it is underrecognized in modular total knee arthroplasty (TKA) despite the potential to cause clinically significant implant failure. » Although descriptions vary throughout case reports, mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) appears to be the underlying failure mechanism at these modular TKA junctions, as is seen in femoral component modularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA). » Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) and fatigue fractures can occur even in well-fixed TKA implants and can be difficult to detect clinically or radiographically. » The femoral component in constrained or rotating-hinge designs may be at higher risk for corrosion-related complications. » An appropriate index of suspicion, improved surveillance protocols, advanced imaging, and design innovations are needed to aid diagnosis, mitigate future failures, and guide revision strategies.
