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

purposeThe early complications of isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery (ACLR) have not been well characterized using large databases. This study aims to characterize incidence, impact, and risk factors for short-term operative complications following elective, isolated ACLR surgery. We hypothesize that demographic and perioperative factors may predict 30-day complications after isolated ACLR.

methodsThis case-control analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database (2005-2017) used Current Procedural Terminology codes to identify elective, isolated ACLR patients. Patients undergoing concomitant procedures were excluded. Complications were analyzed using bivariate analysis against demographic variables. Multiple stepwise logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for morbidity after ACLR.

resultsA total 12,790 patients (37.0% female, p = 0.674) were included with a mean age of 32.2 years old (SD 10.7 years, p < 0.001). Mean BMI was 27.8 kg/m

conclusionACLR is associated with low rates of morbidity and readmissions. The most common comorbidities, complications, and predictors of morbidities were identified to aid surgeons in further reducing adverse outcomes of ACLR. Operative time > 1.5 h, dyspnea, and non-ambulatory surgery are predictive of complications.
