Safety and outcomes of hip and knee replacement surgery in liver transplant recipients.

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
backgroundLiver transplant (LT) is becoming increasingly common with improved life expectancy. Joint replacement is usually a safe procedure; however, its safety in LT recipients remains understudied.
aimTo evaluate the mortality, outcome, and 90-d readmission rate in LT patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery.
methodsPatients with history of LT who underwent hip and knee replacement surgery between 2016 and 2019 were identified using the National Readmission Database.
resultsA total of 5046119 hip and knee replacement surgeries were identified. 3219 patients had prior LT. Mean age of patients with no history of LT was 67.51 [95% confidence interval (CI): 67.44-67.58], while it was 64.05 (95%CI: 63.55-64.54) in patients with LT. Patients with history of LT were more likely to have prolonged length of hospital stay (17.1%
conclusionHip and knee replacements in patients with history of LT are not associated with increased mortality; increased re-admissions were more frequent in this cohort of patients. Chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure appear to predict higher risk of readmission.
