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 investigate the incidence and risk factors of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) in bone tumor surgeries.

methodsThis was a retrospective observational study. We investigated patients who underwent bone tumor surgeries requiring cementation as part of the surgery between March 2016 and January 2018. We reviewed medical records, including formal anesthesia records and operation notes. Patients with complete data files were included. To investigate the general incidence of BCIS in tumor surgeries, patients of all ages, genders and tumor types were included. Vital signs, including oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate, were checked and recorded once every 1-2 min after cementation. Accurate time points of cementation were recorded on formal anesthesia record sheets by the anesthesiologists. The definition and severity of BCIS were based on the classification system proposed in previous studies: grade I, moderate hypoxia (SpO

resultsA total of 88 patients were included. BCIS occurred in 23 patients, with an incidence of 26.1%. Among them, 19 had grade I and 4 had grade II BCIS. There was no patients with grade III BCIS. The lowest blood pressure occurred within 10 min in 21 (87.5%) patients and within 20 min for all patients. A total of 9 grade I BCIS were self-limiting. The other 10 grade I hypotension cases and all grade II hypotension cases recovered after administration of a vasoconstrictor medication. Preexisting lung cancer or lung metastasis was the risk factor for BCIS; 40.0% of patients (16 in 40 patients) with preexisting lung cancer or metastasis had BCIS, whereas only 14.6% of patients (7 in 48 patients) without lung lesions had BCIS. There was no risk difference in terms of arthroplasty, old age, and increased blood loss. Apart from grades I and II bone cement implantation syndrome, there were no other major complications, including death, cardiovascular events, or cerebrovascular events.

conclusionBone cement implantation syndrome is not unusual in bone tumor surgeries, and preexisting lung cancer or lung metastasis is a risk factor.
