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

Cemented fixation has been the gold standard in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, with younger and more active patients requiring TKA, cementless (press-fit) fixation has sparked renewed interest. Therefore, we investigated differences in (1) patient demographics, (2) inpatient costs, (3) short-term complications, and (4) discharge disposition between patients who underwent TKA with cemented and cementless fixation. The National Inpatient Sample database was queried for TKA patients with cement or cementless fixation between October 1 and December 31, 2015. Primary outcomes of interest included complications, length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and inpatient costs. Student's
