Competing Risk Analysis: What Does It Mean and When Do We Need It in Orthopedics Research?
Article in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Most orthopedic studies involve survival analysis examining the time to an event of interest, such as a specific complication or revision surgery. Competing risks commonly arise in such studies when patients are at risk of more than one mutually exclusive event, such as death, or when the rate of an event depends on the rates of other competing events. In this article, we briefly describe the survival analysis censoring methodology, common fatal and nonfatal competing events, and define circumstances where standard survival analysis can fail in the setting of competing risks with real-world examples from orthopedics.
