Hospital Length of Stay Is Associated With Increased Likelihood for Venous Thromboembolism After Total Joint Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is 0.40%-1.2%. Trends in TJA are for shorter hospital stays with lower complication rates. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether hospital length of stay (LOS) is associated with risk of a thromboembolic event after TJA.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients undergoing TJA during 2013-2017 at Louisiana and Texas hospitals. Univariable analyses and multivariable logistic regression examined patient characteristics (sex, race, age, body mass index, Charlson Comorbidity Index, TJA type, and LOS) associated with experiencing a VTE event after discharge and before 1-year follow-up.
resultsOf the 13,969 patients who met inclusion criteria, 338 (2.4%) had a VTE event after discharge. In multivariable regression analysis, more severe comorbidities (odds ratio: 1.30, 95% confidence interval: 1.23-1.37;
conclusionPatients with more severe comorbidities or a longer LOS had a greater risk of VTE after discharge following TJA.
