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: This study aims to compare indications, patient characteristics, hospital factors, and complication rates between total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients aged 30 years or younger and those older than 30 years using a large national database. Methods: The Premier Healthcare Database was utilized to identify primary THA patients from 2015 to 2021 who were aged ≤30 or >30 years. Patient demographics, hospital factors, and primary indications were compared for each cohort. Rates of complications and readmissions were assessed for each cohort by primary indication. Differences were assessed through univariate analysis. Results: Overall, 539,173 primary THA patients were identified (age ≤30: 1849; >30: 537,234). Compared to the >30 cohort, the ≤30 cohort was more likely to be male (56.5% vs 44.9%, Conclusions: Younger patients undergoing THA differed significantly in indication, patient characteristics, and hospital factors compared to the older population on univariate analysis. Despite differences in indications, the cohorts did not differ markedly with regard to complication rates in this study.
