The Minimally Invasive Posterior Approach: A Novel Technique for Shrapnel Removal in the Knee.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retained periarticular missiles are usually overlooked, though they could lead to several delayed complications, which include infection, mechanical symptoms, synovitis due to lead particle deposition, lead arthropathy, and systemic lead poisoning. Retrieval of this shrapnel could be open or arthroscopic. The study reports a successful retrieval of retained periarticular shrapnel from the posterior compartment of the knee using the minimally invasive posterior approach. It presents the current literature review regarding this approach and various modifications. In conclusion, the minimally invasive posterior approach is a very good option for retrieving retained shrapnel from the posterior compartment of the knee. It offers good exposure, is relatively safe, and leaves a small scar, but it requires some learning to use efficiently.
