Aseptic Loosening after THA and TKA - Do gender, tobacco use and BMI have an impact on implant survival time?
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeAseptic loosening (AL) has been reported to be one of the most frequent complications in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to identify the effects of gender, current tobacco use and BMI on the incidence of AL and implant survival time in THA and TKA.
methodsBetween July 2012 and December 2016 all patients that were diagnosed with an AL of a primary THA or primary TKA and underwent revision surgery at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed for this study. For each patient gender, current tobacco use, BMI, and implant survival time were obtained from the medical records.
results202 patients with 85 THA and 117 TKA were included in this study. There was no impact of the gender on implant survival times (p > 0.05) in THA and TKA. In the TKA group current tobacco use was associated with a significant shorter implant survival time (p < 0.05). For THA and TKA with cemented stem fixation a significant increase of AL was seen in overweight compared to normal weight patients (p < 0.05) and in obese compared to normal weight patients (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe results demonstrate that current tobacco use and elevated BMI are associated with increased rates of AL in TKA. Also, in THA with cemented stem fixation an elevated BMI is associated with an increased incidence of AL.
