Incidence and risk factors of in-hospital prosthesis-related complications following total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective Nationwide Inpatient Sample database study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposeThe occurrence of prosthesis-related complications (PRCs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is devastating, commonly meaning implant failure and revision surgery. The purpose was to examine the incidence and risk factors of in-hospital PRCs following THA using a large-scale national database.
methodsA retrospective database analysis was performed based on Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2005 to 2014. Patients who underwent THA were included. Patient demographics, hospital characteristics, length of stay (LOS), economic indicators, in-hospital mortality, comorbidities, and peri-operative complications were evaluated.
resultsA total of 590,122 THAs were obtained from the NIS database. The general incidence of in-hospital PRCs after THA was 1.96%, with a slight downward trend annually. Dislocation was the most common PRCs (0.23%). Patients with PRCs after THA demonstrated increased LOS, total charges, usage of Medicare, and in-hospital mortality. Risk factors of PRCs included advanced age, female, the Hispanic, the Native American, large hospital, teaching hospital, hospital in the South, Medicaid, Self-pay, alcohol abuse, anemia, coagulopathy, rheumatoid diseases, neurological disorders, depression, paralysis, psychosis, diabetes, fluid and electrolyte disorders, congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, liver disease, metastatic cancer, and weight loss. Additionally, PRCs were associated with avascular necrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, femoral neck fracture, dementia, osteoporosis, acute renal failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, post-operative delirium, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, transfusion, sepsis, post-operative shock, wound dehiscence, haemorrhage/seroma/haematoma, and nerve injury.
conclusionA relatively low incidence of in-hospital PRCs after THA was identified. It is of benefit to study risk factors of PRCs to ensure the appropriate management and moderate consequences.
