Evaluation of the utility of the Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress score for predicting post-operative morbidity after orthopaedic surgery.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2015. 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of the Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) scoring system for predicting post-operative morbidity.
methodsWe included 1,883 patients (mean age, 52.1 years) who underwent orthopaedic surgery. The post-operative complications were classified as surgical site and non-surgical site complications, and the relationship between the E-PASS scores and post-operative morbidity was investigated.
resultsThe incidence of post-operative complications (n = 274) significantly increased with an increase in E-PASS scores (p < 0.001). The areas under the curve for the comprehensive risk score of the E-PASS scoring system for overall and non-surgical site complications were 0.777 and 0.794, respectively.
conclusionsThe E-PASS scoring system showed some utility in predicting post-operative morbidity after general orthopaedic surgery. However, creating a new risk score that is more suitable for orthopaedic surgery will be challenging.
