Incidental Discovery of Ochronosis During Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Ochronosis is a rare disease that causes rapid and severe destruction of large joints, and joint replacement is often required in advanced stages. Due to the rarity and lack of awareness of this condition, diagnosis is often made during surgery. We present the case of a 54-year-old woman who underwent knee arthroplasty with the incidental discovery of a black knee. Concerned by this situation, we aimed to review the available literature to assess functional outcomes and implant survivorship in this rare condition. Despite the low level of evidence in the literature, it would appear that total knee arthroplasty in ochronosis leads to good results in terms of pain relief and functional scores, and most importantly implant survivorship is comparable to that of the general population.
