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

Although bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (BSTKA) is an effective treatment for bilateral knee osteoarthritis, safety concerns and lack of precise patient selection criteria persist. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the complication rate and the role of frailty in patient selection for BSTKA. We analyzed data from 434 patients who underwent BSTKA between February 2012 and January 2021, examining demographic factors and preoperative blood test results. Complications occurred in 77 patients (18%), with anemia requiring transfusion being the most common (26 patients, 5.9%). In the univariate analysis, age ≥ 75 years, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥ 5, age-adjusted 5-factor modified Frailty Index (aamFI-5) ≥ 3, hemoglobin ≤ 11.0 g/dL, albumin ≤ 3.5 g/dL, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 45 ml/dl/1.73 m
