Integrated clinical pathways with watertight, multi-layer closure to improve patient outcomes in total hip and knee joint arthroplasty.
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 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
The number of primary total hip and knee replacement surgeries is increasing primarily due to an aging population. There is also a concomitant increase in the number of complications which could be attributed to high variation in arthroplasty techniques, peri-operative methods and the absence of integrated clinical pathways (ICP) to mitigate risks such as surgical site infections (SSIs). The implementation of ICPs incorporating watertight, multi-layer closure could increase the preventative effectiveness against joint prosthetic adverse events. The objective of this review is to describe the ICPs implemented by one US facility to help address ten adverse events synergistically.
