Insulin dependence increases the risk of postoperative complications and inferior outcome but not the survivorship of total joint arthroplasty among diabetic population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
purposeDiabetes mellitus (DM) has been associated with poorer outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, it is not clear if insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients display more perioperative complications and a worse clinical outcome compared to patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
methodsMedline, Scopus, and the Cochrane library were systematically searched from inception to December 2020 to identify studies evaluating the results of THA and TKA in IDDM and NIDDM patients. The primary outcomes of the review were the surgical and systemic complications, 30-day mortality and readmission, and revision arthroplasty. Secondary outcomes were the survival of the prosthetic joints and the Knee Society Score (KSS).
resultsThirteen studies with 54,215 patients were included in the review. IDDM patients showed a greater risk for developing periprosthetic joint infection (p = 0.02), wound complications (p = 0.01), 30-day readmission (p < 0.01) and mortality (p < 0.01), reoperation (p < 0.01), revision joint surgery (p = 0.02), and systemic complications (p < 0.01) than NIDDM patients. The KSS-knee score was similar in IDDM and NIDDM patients, but the KSS-function score was lower in IDDM patients (p = 0.002). The overall survival rates of the prosthetic joints were similar between the groups.
conclusionAmong diabetic population who undergo THA and TKA, insulin dependence is a risk factor for postoperative complications, and inferior functional outcome but not for shorter survivorship of the prosthetic joints.
