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

The effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic are pervasive and have decreased the volume of hip and knee arthroplasty procedures since the mandated cessation of elective surgical procedures at the height of the pandemic in early 2020. Therefore, a backlog of patients in need of these elective procedures is a probable consequence and increased productivity and efficiency in patient care delivery is essential now and into the future. This article outlines multiple strategies and techniques to develop and optimize efficiency in the hip and knee arthroplasty practice. Techniques for increasing surgical efficiency are detailed, along with perioperative strategies in the hospital, ambulatory surgery center, and office settings are outlined and discussed.
