A Contemporary Analysis of Discharge Disposition Following Total Joint Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) represents the single largest procedural cost for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) remains a primary driver of post-acute care costs. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in number of discharges to SNFs. Examining preoperative patient characteristics of those who are still admitted to SNFs, despite cultural shifts, may help providers identify patients still at high risk for SNF discharge. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who had elective total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty from January through December 2022 at a high-volume orthopaedic institute. Preoperative patient-reported outcome scores, demographics, and clinical characteristics were collected from patient charts and compared between patients who were discharged home vs SNF. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine potential predictors for discharge to SNF. Results: In the total sample ( Conclusions: This was the first study to identify PROMIS 10 score as a potential predictor of discharge to a SNF after TJA. Findings from this study may help providers redefine contemporary predictors of SNF admission following TJA.
