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

introductionThe World Health Organization (WHO) postulates that depressive disorders (DD) will be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality by 2030. Studies evaluating the association of DD following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for the treatment of acetabular fractures are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this matched-control study was to determine whether DD patients undergoing ORIF for acetabular fractures have higher rates of: (1) in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS); (2) readmissions; (3) medical complications; and (4) costs of care. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective query from the 100% Medicare Standard Analytical Files (SAF) was performed to identify patients who underwent ORIF for acetabular fractures. The study group consisted of those patients with DD, whereas patients without the condition served as controls. Primary endpoints of the study were to compare in-hospital LOS, readmission rates, ninety-day medical complications, and costs of care. A p-value less than 0.01 was considered statistically significant.

resultsThe query yielded 7084 patients within the study (ORIF = 1187, control = 5897). DD patients were found to have significantly longer in-hospital LOS (11 days vs. 10 days, p < 0.0001); however, odds (OR) of readmission rates were similar (23.16 vs. 18.68%; OR: 0.91, p = 0.26). Multivariate regression demonstrated DD to be associated with significantly higher (67.69 vs. 25.54%; OR: 2.64, p < 0.0001) 90-day medical complications. DD patients had significantly higher day of surgery ($30,505.93 vs. $28,424.85, p < 0.0001) and total global 90-day costs ($41,721.98 vs. $37,330.16, p < 0.0001) of care.

conclusionAfter adjusting for covariates, DD is associated with longer in-hospital, complications, and costs of care in patients undergoing ORIF for the treatment of acetabular fractures, whereas readmission rates are similar. The study is vital as it can be used by orthopaedists and healthcare professionals to adequately educate these patients of the potential outcomes following their surgical procedure.
