Association between frailty and clinical post-operative outcomes in patients following hip arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeThis research determined the correlation between frailty and post-surgical complications, readmission, re-operation, and mortality in patients with hip arthroplasty through a meta-analysis.
methodsWe screened PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for cohort research that explored the correlation between frailty and post-operative complications in patients who underwent hip arthroplasty from inception to August 31, 2022. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was employed to assess the value of the involved studies. Statistical analyses of the meta-analysis were conducted utilizing Review Manager, version 5.3.
resultsThis research involved seven retrospective investigations involving 350,971 patients. The summed findings revealed that frailty is associated with total complications (relative risk [RR] = 3.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.99-4.74), re-operation (RR = 1.98; 95% CI: 1.73-2.28), readmission (RR = 2.04; 95% CI: 1.87-2.22), and 30-day mortality (RR = 2.59, 95% CI: 1.16-5.79). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses revealed that the pooled findings of frailty predict that total complications, re-operation, readmission, and 30-day mortality were stable.
conclusionsPre-operative frailty was correlated with post-surgical complications in patients who underwent hip arthroplasty, including post-operative complications, re-operation, readmission, and 30-day mortality. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO, identifier: CRD 42022350781.
