Adjusted Survival Curves Improve Understanding of Multivariable Cox Model Results.
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 14 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
Kaplan-Meier survival curves are the most common methods for unadjusted group comparison of outcomes in orthopedic research. However, they may be misleading due to an imbalance of confounders between patient groups. The Cox model is frequently used to adjust for confounders, but graphical display of adjusted survival curves is not commonly utilized. We describe the circumstances when adjusted survival curves are useful in orthopedic research, describe and use 2 different methods to obtain adjusted curves, and illustrate how they can improve understanding of the multivariable Cox model results. We further provide practical strategies for identifying the need for and performing adjusted survival curves.
