Impact of Hepatitis B on Complications and Functional Outcomes in Patients Undergoing TKR.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2024. 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: In India, infected patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) undergoing total knee replacement (TKA) are increasing. It is recognized that patients with HBV infection are more susceptible to complications after surgery. To evaluate the effect of HBV infection on complications and functional outcome after TKA was the aim of this study. Methods: This is the retrospective observation analysis of patients who underwent primary total knee replacement in our hospital from 2017 to 2019. A total of 92 patients were included in the study, of which 46 patients were asymptomatic HBV-positive, and these 46 patients were compared with a matched cohort of another 46 patients who were non-HBV. Results: A total of 92 patients were analyzed (asymptomatic HBV Conclusion: Our study showed asymptomatic hepatitis B patients are at an increased risk of complications (peri-prosthetic joint infections and wound dehiscence) compared to normal patients. In hepatitis B and non-hepatitis B patients, functional outcomes in terms of OKS are comparable.
