1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 number of hypothyroidism patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKA) in India is increasing. It is assumed that patients with hypothyroidism are more prone to complications following surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of hypothyroidism on the complications following TKA. Methods: This is a case-control analysis of patients who underwent primary total knee replacement in our hospital from 2017 to 2019. A total of 600 patients were included in the study, of which 300 patients were with hypothyroidism. We compared with a matched cohort of another 300 patients without hypothyroidism as control group. Results: A total of 600 patients were analyzed (Hypothyroid group Conclusion: The conclusion can be that the rate of hospital stay, surgical site infections and complications were higher in hypothyroid group when compared with control group though statistically not significant.
