Total hospital cost, length of stay, and complications between simultaneous and staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty: A nationwide retrospective cohort study in China.

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
This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the total hospital cost, length of stay (LOS), and incidence of complications between simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (simBTHA) and staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (staBTHA).We identified 256 patients who underwent staBTHA and matched them to a control group of 256 patients who underwent simBTHA from 2013 to 2016. Patients' demographics, total hospital costs, complication rates, and LOS were recorded and compared.Patients undergoing simBTHA were younger (52.0 ± 12.0 vs 54.9 ± 13.2 years, P = .01), were more likely to be men (55.9% vs 46.9%, P = .04). There was no significant difference in total hospital costs or complications within 90 days for simBTHA compared with staBTHA. The transfusion rate was higher (49.3% vs 10.4%, P < .01), but the LOS was shorter in the simBTHA group (8.7 ± 5.3 vs 12.1 ± 5.6 days, P < .01).There were no differences in total hospital costs or complications within 90 days if patients were carefully selected for simBTHA. Considering the difference in baseline characteristics and the low level of evidence, further randomized controlled studies are necessary.
