Incidence of Symptomatic COVID-19 in Unvaccinated Patients Within One Month After Elective Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Multicenter Study.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2022. 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
backgroundThe safety of continuing total joint arthroplasty (TJA), as an elective procedure, during the pandemic is controversial. The present study aimed to investigate the incidence of symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its related risk factors in unvaccinated patients after TJA within 1 month after discharge in 2 large cities of our country. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe present prospective study included all the patients admitted to 3 hospitals, located in Tehran and Isfahan, 2 highly populated cities of Iran, from April 1, 2020, to April 1, 2021, for elective TJA. Urgent TJA (traumatic fractures) were excluded. The primary outcome was symptomatic COVID-19 within 1 month after discharge that was diagnosed using the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test. Afterward, the incidence of COVID-19 in the study population was compared with that in the general population to estimate the safety of elective TJA during the pandemic.
resultsFrom the 1007 patients undergoing TJA, 755 patients met the inclusion criteria. None of the patients was vaccinated against COVID-19. Among them, 18 patients (2.4%) developed symptomatic COVID-19 within 1 month after discharge. In the same time interval, the incidence of COVID-19 was 2.2% in the general population of these 2 cities, which was similar to the incidence reported in the study population. Of the patients who were positive for COVID-19, 4 patients were hospitalized, and 3 of them were admitted to an intensive care unit; however, no mortality was reported.
conclusionThe TJA will be a safe elective procedure for the patients during the pandemic if the preventive protocols are followed strictly.
