1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim Previous research has shown that obesity is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. We aim to determine how rates of specific complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA) align with obesity status. We hypothesize that obese patients would have higher rates of complications and cost and thus have worse outcomes than non-obese patients. Methods Data were collected from a large commercial insurance database between 2011 and 2020. Patients underwent a hip replacement under current procedural terminology (CPT) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-9/ICD-10) codes. Obese (defined as having a BMI of 30 kg/m
