The Association of Body Mass Index with Surgical Time Is Mediated by Comorbidity in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Overweight represents a major issue in contemporary orthopaedic practice. A higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with an increase of perioperative complications following several orthopaedic procedures, in particular total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the influence of overweight on THA surgical time is controversial. In this study, we investigated the association between BMI and surgical time analyzing the role of patients' comorbidities. We conducted a retrospective study on 748 patients undergoing THA at our institutions between 2017 and 2018. Information regarding medical diseases was investigated and the burden of comorbidity was quantified using the Charlson score (CCI). Surgical time and blood loss were also recorded. Median surgical time was 76.5 min. Patients with surgical time above the median had both a higher BMI (28.3 vs. 27.1 kg/m
