Does age increase perioperative complications for single-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty?
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The potential of post-operative complication may exclude elderly patients from undergoing single-staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (SSBTHA). This study retrospective compared perioperative complications between SSBTHA patients <70 (N = 157) and ≥70 (N = 56) years of age. Patients ≥70 had significantly lower body mass index (p = 0.029) and had a higher ASA classification (p = 0.041) compared to patients <70. No differences in post-operative complications or transfusion rates were found between age groups. However, patients ≥70 were less likely to be discharged home. While SSBTHA can safely be performed in patients ≥70, the risk of transfusion may suggest pre-operative hemoglobin screenings, especially for patients ≥70.
