Early postoperative mortality following joint arthroplasty: a systematic review.
Synthesis in The Journal of rheumatology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo perform a systematic review of 30- and 90-day mortality rates in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasties.
methodsFive databases were searched for English-language studies of mortality in hip or knee arthroplasties and the following data were extracted: patient characteristics (age, sex, ethnicity), arthroplasty characteristics (unilateral vs bilateral, hip vs knee), system factors (hospital volume and surgeon volume), year of study, etc. Mortality rates were compared across variable categories; proportions were compared using relative risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
resultsOut of 650 titles and abstracts, 80 studies qualified for analysis. Of these, 35%, 34%, and 31% of studies provided 30-, 90-, and > 90-day mortality rates. Overall 30-day mortality rates across all types of arthroplasties were 0.3%; 90-day, 0.7%. For those reports with specific rates, 30-day mortality was significantly higher in men than women [1.8% vs 0.4%, respectively; relative risk (RR) 3.93, 95% CI 3.30-4.68] and in bilateral versus unilateral procedures (0.5% vs 0.3%; RR 1.6, 95% CI 1.49-1.72), but no differences were noted by the underlying diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) versus rheumatoid arthritis (0.4% vs 0.3%; RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.48-1.24). 90-day mortality showed nonsignificant trends favoring women, OA as the underlying diagnosis, and unilateral procedures.
conclusionSeveral demographic and surgical factors were associated with higher 30-day mortality rates following knee and hip arthroplasties. More studies are needed to examine the effect of body mass index, comorbidities, and other modifiable factors, in order to identify interventions to lower mortality rates following arthroplasty procedures.
