Sex and Age Affect Progression to Total Knee Arthroplasty After Cartilage Surgery: A UK Biobank Cohort Study.
Article in Cartilage, 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
ObjectiveEvaluate the association of sex and age at surgery with time to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following knee cartilage surgery in UK Biobank (UKB) participants.DesignParticipants with a history of knee cartilage surgery were classified into four surgical subgroups: cartilage repair, debridement, microfracture, and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Time from index surgery to primary TKA in each group was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the sexes compared using log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards regression evaluated associations between age at surgery, sex, and surgery type with risk of progression to TKA.ResultsThe study included 1,967 males and 1,741 females. Log‑rank testing demonstrated significant sex‑based differences in time to TKA following debridement (
