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 compare two different methods of clinical outcomes documentation and investigate the potential impact of a quality assurance program.

methodsData on primary hip arthroplasties conducted between 2004 and 2014 were prospectively collected and analyzed.

resultsA total of 262/3395 patients suffered a postoperative complication. A reduction of complication rate was observed between 2010 and 2014. A significant difference between the two documentation methods was found in: "cardiovascular complications", "hematoma and postoperative hemorrhage" and "reintervention". Finally, the "normalized length of hospital stay" predicted the occurrence of complications.

conclusionReduction of the incidence of complications through time may be attributed to accumulated surgical experience.
