Hypoalbuminemia and the Higher Risk of Perioperative Sentinel Adverse Events in Patients Undergoing Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis.

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
Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of hypoalbuminemia (HA) on sentinel adverse events after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Methods: Patients who underwent primary TSA from 2015-2018 were collected from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. Patients with HA (serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL) were compared to patients with normal serum albumin. A probit regression model was used to estimate a propensity score. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the effect of HA on sentinel adverse events after surgery. Results: A total of 4,337 patients were included, 8.2% of patients had HA. Patients with HA had higher rates of sentinel adverse events (14.0% vs 5.5%, Conclusion: Patients with HA are at increased risk of sentinel adverse events following TSA compared to patients with normal serum albumin levels.
