The Use of General Anesthesia in Revision Joint Arthroplasty.
Article in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSeveral studies have suggested that spinal anesthesia gives superior outcomes for primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, there is a lack of available data regarding contemporary general anesthesia (GA) approaches for revision TJA utilized at high-volume joint arthroplasty centers.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a series of 850 consecutive revision TJAs (405 revision total hip arthroplasties and 445 revision total knee arthroplasties) performed over 4 years at a single institution that uses a contemporary GA protocol and reported on the lengths of stay, early recovery rates, perioperative complications, and readmissions.
resultsOf the revision arthroplasty patients, 74.4% (632 of 850) were discharged on postoperative day 1 and 68.5% (582 of 850) of subjects were able to participate in physical therapy on the day of surgery. Only 6 patients (0.7%) required an intensive care unit stay postoperatively. The 90-day readmission rate over this time was 11.3% (n = 96), while the reoperation rate was 9.4% (n = 80).
conclusionsWhile neuraxial anesthesia is commonly preferred when performing revision TJA, we have demonstrated favorable safety and efficiency metrics utilizing GA in conjunction with contemporary enhanced recovery pathways. Our data support the notion that modern GA techniques can be successfully used in revision TJA.
