Trends and Economic Impact of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in Central Europe: Findings from the Austrian National Database.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Arthroplasty registers were originally established in Scandinavia to receive clinically relevant information from pooled data, to improve quality and reduce revision surgeries, with socioeconomic benefit. In Austria, where the highest rate of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) per inhabitant of all OECD countries was reached in 2014, arthroplasties are centrally reported since 2009. Study purpose was to perform the first analysis of the Austrian database, aiming to obtain data on trends in arthroplasty in Austria over time in relation to demographic development. Between 2009 and 2015 an almost continuous increase of total hip arthroplasties (THA; 18.052) by 14% and TKA (17.324) by 13% were observed, representing 210 THA and 202 TKA per 100k inhabitants in 2015. A similar increase was found for revision surgeries, with 1.290 re-implanted THA (7.1% of all THA) and 919 re-implanted TKA (5.3% of all TKA) in 2015. Implantation of mega or tumor prosthesis for the knee and hip joint remained constant and was mainly performed in two university hospitals. Patellar resurfacing decreased by 31.6%. Demographic development will further increase the number of primary and revision surgeries. Inclusion of more detailed information on used and revised components was established and will improve efficacy in quality control.
