The Use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea is Associated With Early Medical and Surgery-Related Complications Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A National Database Study.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been shown to increase the risk of complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) although prior studies were limited by their ability to stratify OSA patients by disease severity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect size of the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on early medical and surgery-related complications following TKA among patients with OSA. Methods: Patients with OSA who underwent primary TKA were identified using the PearlDiver Mariner database. Ninety-day incidences of medical complications and 1-year incidences of surgery-related complications as well as hospital utilization were evaluated for OSA patients who had used CPAP prior to TKA compared to those who did not. Results: CPAP patients were at increased 90-day risk of emergency department presentation (odds ratio [OR] 1.61; Conclusions: OSA patients on CPAP undergoing TKA have significantly increased complication rates compared to OSA patients not using CPAP. Level of Evidence: III, Retrospective review.
