1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe number of total knee arthroplasties in elderly patients is increasing in accordance with the demographic shift in the population.

objectiveAnalysis of the special situation in the elderly, conservative treatment options, perioperative risk factors, preoperative preparation, special intraoperative features and outcome.

methodsAnalysis of currently available scientific data and presentation of own scientific study results.

resultsTotal knee arthroplasty in elderly patients is related to an increased perioperative risk of complications. A thorough interdisciplinary preparation is required to reduce risk factors. Ligament stability of the knee does not correlate with age. The postoperative outcome after total knee arthroplasty in elderly patients is decisively influenced by the preoperative function and psychosocial parameters.

conclusionTotal knee arthroplasty in elderly patients is particularly challenging for orthopedic surgeons and requires close interdisciplinary cooperation.
