The impact of crohn's disease on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 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
backgroundThe knee joint remains the most affected joint in extra-intestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD). Given the increasing prevalence of CD and overall demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it is likely that an increasing number of patients with CD will require TKA. The purpose of this study was to assess the inpatient postoperative complication in patients with CD undergoing TKA. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database between the years of 2016 to 2019, including a total of 558,371 patients who underwent primary TKA. Among these, 1461 were in the CD group and 556,910 were in the non-CD group (controls). Data pertaining to demographics, length of stay (LOS), total healthcare cost, mortality, and in-hospital complications (blood loss anemia, blood transfusion, periprosthetic infection, periprosthetic dislocation, periprosthetic mechanical complication, acute renal failure, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, superficial/deep surgical site infection, and wound dehiscence) were compared between the two groups.
resultsPatients diagnosed with CD had higher postoperative complications such as blood loss anemia (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.07-1.39, p = 0.004), periprosthetic infection (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.23-2.63, p = 0.006), and the need for blood transfusion (OR: 1.447, 95% CI: 1.01-2.06, p = 0.044) in comparison to the control group. In-hospital mortality and acute renal failure were similar in both groups. The CD group had a significantly prolonged LOS (2.54 vs. 2.35 days, p < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was noted concerning in-hospital charges between the two groups.
conclusionsCD patients undergoing TKA experienced increased LOS and postoperative complications. However, these complications were minor and did not affect total hospital cost. Further prospective cohort studies could build upon the findings described to continue to maximize outcomes in CD patients undergoing TKA, which might extend to other cohorts.
