Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury: Impact on Medical Complications, Hospital Costs and Length of Stay.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2023. 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
introductionPatients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with degenerative joint disease of the knee may require total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study examines the demographic and immediate postoperative outcomes of patients with SCI who undergo TKA.
methodsAdmissions data for TKA and SCI were analyzed from the National Inpatient Sample database using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. An extensive array of preoperative and postoperative variables was compared among SCI TKA patients and non-SCI TKA patients. An unmatched and matched analysis using a 1:1 propensity match algorithm was conducted to compare the two groups.
resultsPatients with SCI tend to be younger and have a 7.518 times greater risk of acute renal failure, 2.3 times greater risk of blood loss, and higher risk of local complications, including periprosthetic fracture and prosthetic infection. The average length of stay in the SCI cohort was 2.12 times greater, with a 1.58 times higher mean total incurred charge than the non-SCI group.
conclusionSCI is associated with an increased risk of acute renal failure, blood loss anemia, periprosthetic fractures and infections, a longer length of stay, and greater incurred charges in TKA patients. STUDY
