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

introductionTotal hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) are surgical interventions for patients with primary and posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The present clinical investigation compared gender differences in THA and TKA.

methodsData from 419 patients following primary THA and TKA were collected. The occurrence of systemic and surgery-related complications, the units of blood transfused, and the change in Hb were investigated. Hb was collected preoperatively and at 1, 2, 4 and 7 days postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using the software IBM SPSS 28.

resultsThere was no significant difference in surgery-related and general complications in men between THA and TKA. A significant difference between THA and TKA in systemic complications in women was observed. No significant difference between THA and TKA in related to surgery-related complications was evidenced. In men, no difference in Hb progression was observed. In women, a significant Hb drop was evidenced (p = 0.03). The rate of blood transfusion units in women was significantly greater in TKA than in THA (p = 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed in men in the rate of transfusion between THA and TKA.

conclusionPerioperative care should be organized differently for women and men. Furthermore, a differentiation between the procedures for each sex could prevent the occurrence of perioperative complicated courses.
