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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of pneumatic tourniquet on perioperative period of total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

methodsThe perioperative period data of 116 patients over 60 years old with severe knee osteoarthritis treated with TKA between January 2018 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether pneumatic tourniquet was used during operation, the patients were divided into trial group (49 cases, pneumatic tourniquet was not used during operation) and control group (67 cases, pneumatic tourniquet was used during operation). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, lesion side, disease duration, and preoperative hemoglobin between the two groups (

resultsThe operation time of the trial group was significantly longer than that of the control group (

conclusionPneumatic tourniquet can reduce the operation time of TKA significantly. However, it may increase the hidden blood loss and knee swelling, and negatively impact the recovery of knee function in the early postoperative stage of TKA.
