Postoperative decrease in serum albumin as predictor of early acute periprosthetic infection after total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposePatients with hypoalbuminemia, (serum albumin (SA) < 3.5 g/dL) are at greater risk for complications after surgery, including increased postoperative infection rates after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to analyze both preoperative and postoperative SA in patients who experienced acute periprosthetic infection within the first 4 weeks after surgery.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 490 consecutive TKAs (314 patients). Five patients developed early acute infection requiring surgical treatment. SA data were collected preoperatively (SA
resultsNo statistical differences were found in parameters expected to influence SA values between the surgically treated (STG) and non-treated groups (non-STG). None of the patients in STG had SA
conclusionSA dynamics revealed a greater reduction in both the amount and rate in STG before and after surgery than in non-STG. No correlation was found between early acute periprosthetic infection after TKA and each SA
