The Investigation of Preoperative Factors Associated With Postoperative Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
This study aimed to investigate preoperative factors associated with non-home discharges from acute care hospitals in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis. It was a scoping review focused on patients who received their first unilateral TKA for osteoarthritis. The research targeted observational studies that examined the destinations of patients post-surgery based on preoperative factors, with a literature search conducted in April 2023. Out of 3,255 identified papers, 28 met the eligibility criteria. A total of 26 preoperative factors were identified as potentially related to discharge destinations, including age, gender, comorbidities, and obesity. By selecting an appropriate discharge destination based on preoperative factors, there may be potential for more efficient use of medical resources. Future studies should consider preoperative factors in the context of national healthcare systems and lengths of hospital stay.
