Smoking cessation prior to elective total joint arthroplasty results in sustained abstinence postoperatively.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 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
backgroundTobacco use is a well-documented modifiable risk factor for perioperative complications.
aimTo determine the tobacco abstinence rates of patients who made cessation efforts prior to a total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedure.
methodsA retrospective evaluation was performed on 88 self-reported tobacco users who underwent TJA between 2014-2022 and had tobacco cessation dates within 3 mo of surgery. Eligible patients were contacted
resultsOur cohort was on average 61-years-old, 60% (
conclusionWe report a tobacco cessation rate of 43.2% in patients undergoing elective TJA nearly 3 years postoperatively. Patients undergoing TJA who were able to remain abstinent had improved PROMIS-10 mental health scores and HOOS. JR scores. The perioperative period provides clinicians a unique opportunity to assist active tobacco smokers with cessation efforts and improve postoperative outcomes.
