Survival curve and factors related to drainage during the first 24 h after total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Routine use of drains in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is controversial. The aim of this study is to define the hourly risk of bleeding in the first 24 h following TKA using a survival study, to detect factors that might modify this risk, and establish a predictive model. In a retrospective study including 112 knees, patients with a coagulation disorder, platelet disease, or anticoagulation treatment were excluded. The risk factors studied included anesthesia score of the American society of anesthesiologists (ASA), proteinemia, total volume of fluid drained, and the use of low molecular weight heparin. The Kaplan-Meier test, Mantel-Haenszel test, and Cox regression analysis were used for the statistical calculations. The results indicate that the drains used in TKA can be removed within the first 18 h with a high degree of safety and low risk of persistent bleeding. The evolution of postoperative bleeding was independent of the factors studied.
