Length of Hospital Stay after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Correlation Study on 1200 Patients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
In countries with a high average population age, total knee arthroplasty is still carried out in an inpatient setting. The roadmap to performing major surgery on an outpatient basis passes through the understanding of those perioperative features that correlate with higher lengths of hospital stay (LOS). A retrospective database of 1200 patients was reviewed for retrieving preoperative and perioperative factors including anthropometric and demographic data, comorbidities, preoperative laboratory assessment, and surgical time. Considering the LOS as a discrete series, data were analyzed by means of logistic regression with multiple univariate and multivariate models. The results showed a median length of hospital stay of 3 (IQR 3, 4) days. According to multiple univariate analysis, arterial hypertension (p = 0.008), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.028), CCI score (p < 0.001), ASA score (p = 0.006), surgical time (p < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the duration of hospital stay in days. Moreover, preoperative hemoglobin value was inversely correlated to the LOS (p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis showed a significant correlation between LOS and surgical time and intraoperative blood loss. Many factors influence the permanence of the inpatient and acting on those variables, by stabilizing comorbidities and optimizing laboratory values, may reduce the overall healthcare burden.
