Risk factors for ileus after hip and knee arthroplasty.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposePostoperative ileus (POI) is one of the complications that can occur after every surgical procedure including arthroplasty. It can have detrimental consequences for the patient and portrays an economic burden on health care systems. The risk factors for POI after arthroplasty described in the literature are scarce and include hip arthroplasty, male gender and previous abdominal surgery. The purpose of the study was to determine the risk factors for POI after hip and knee arthroplasty.
methodsA retrospective review of 2760 patients undergoing primary hip and knee arthroplasty was performed. An in-depth analysis of patient history and physical operative and postoperative course was reviewed and statistically analyzed in a univariate and multivariate setting.
resultsOverall incidence of POI was 0.54%. History of myocardial infarction and chronic kidney disease were statistically significant risk factors for developing POI after arthroplasty with values of p = 0.023 and p = 0.004, respectively. Other risk factors included previous abdominal surgery (p < 0.001) and hip arthroplasty (p = 0.026). Age or gender correlations were not observed.
conclusionsAlthough postoperative ileus is an uncommon complication after joint arthroplasty, in addition to the known risk factors of male age, hip arthroplasty, and previous abdominal surgery, this study describes two previously unknown risk factors: chronic kidney disease and history of myocardial infarction. Patients with these risk factors should be monitored closely for developing postoperative ileus.
