IMPACT OF MEASURES TO FIGHT THE PANDEMIC COVID-19 ON KNEE ARTHROPLASTIES IN BRAZIL.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To assess the impacts of measures to face COVID-19 on total knee arthroplasty procedures in the country, based on data provided by the SUS Information and Informatics Department (DATASUS). Methods: Cross-sectional study of secondary data in the public domain, available on the website of the Department of Information and Informatics of SUS (DATASUS), containing information about hospital admissions in the SUS. Results: Brazil suffered a 51.82% decrease, on average, in the performance of total knee arthroplasty by the Unified Health System (SUS) in 2020, due to measures to face COVID-19. The analysis by region offers more details on this reduction in the number of procedures. In the Northeast, the decrease was on average 48.02%, whereas in the Center-West it was 65.61%. Southeast, North, and South registered an average decrease of 49.38%, 51.81%, and 55.06%, respectively. Conclusion: COVID-19 impacted the realization of TKA in Brazil, with greater and lesser levels of decline observed in different Brazilian regions. In the Southeast region, for example, the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais were the most affected, mainly due to the large population concentration, as well as Paraná, which has high numbers of procedures and a sharp decrease in 2020.
