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

backgroundAs much as the world was hoping that COVID-19 would quickly burn out, it is becoming increasingly likely that there will be no magic bullet to bring the pandemic to an end. Although recent vaccine developments have been encouraging, the persistence of the virus appears to be likely with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus becoming endemic throughout the world.

methodsThis article summarizes a presentation at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons 2020 Annual Meeting on "Optimizing Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the COVID Era". This new reality presents an opportunity for arthroplasty surgeons to leverage new technologies and change practice habits to keep patients and providers safe.

resultsBoth early discharge and telehealth can be leveraged in the COVID-19 era to help address some of the challenges of the pandemic. However, concerns and limitations with both approaches need to be considered when implementing in practice.

conclusionsThe continued practice of elective hip and knee arthroplasty relies on providers adapting to "the new normal." The extent to which these technologies and changes in practice will persist beyond the pandemic is unclear.
