General and Abdominal Obesity as Risk Factors for Late-Life Mobility Limitation After Total Knee or Hip Replacement for Osteoarthritis Among Women.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo investigate associations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist/hip ratio (WHR) with survival to age 85 years with mobility limitation or death before age 85 years among older women with total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR) for osteoarthritis (OA).
methodsThis was a prospective study of women (ages 65-79 years at baseline) from the Women's Health Initiative, recruited during 1993-1998 and followed through 2012. Women's Health Initiative data were linked to Medicare claims data to determine TKR (n = 1,867) and THR (n = 944) for OA. Women were followed for up to 18 years after undergoing THR or TKR to determine mobility status at age 85 years.
resultsCompared with normal-weight women, overweight, obese I, and obese II women with THR had significantly increased risk of survival to age 85 years with mobility limitation (P < 0.001 for linear trend), with the strongest risk among obese II women (odds ratio [OR] 4.37 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.96-9.74]). Obese II women with THR also had increased risk of death before age 85 years. Women with THR and WC >88 cm relative to ≤88 cm had increased risk of survival to age 85 years with mobility limitation (OR 1.65 [95% CI 1.17-2.33]) but not death before age 85 years. High BMI, WC, and WHR were associated with significantly increased risk of late-life mobility limitation and death among women with TKR for OA.
conclusionAmong older women who underwent THR or TKR for OA, baseline general and abdominal obesity were associated with increased risk of late-life mobility limitation.
