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

backgroundThis study assesses if post-operative outcomes following THA vary by racial groups.

methodsA review of the ACS-NSQIP database was performed to compare THA patient outcomes from 2008 to 2016 according to race.

resultsDuring the study period, 117,389 THA patients were identified. Blacks were at significantly increased risk of peri-operative complications in comparison to non-Hispanic Whites, including serious medical morbidity (+27%), and prolonged length of stay (+53%).

conclusionsDespite multivariate control and propensity-matched analysis of important risk factors, race independently predicts longer operative times and higher rates of discharge to non-home facilities.
