1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPostoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) following hip arthroscopy is associated with increased hospital readmissions and significant medical costs. However, the risk factors for postoperative VTE after hip arthroscopy remain a topic of debate. In this study, we aimed to quantitatively and comprehensively identify risk factors for postoperative VTE after hip arthroscopy, providing evidence for the development of clinical prevention strategies.

methodsA systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library databases from their inception to December 10, 2024. The search was limited to English-language articles that evaluated risk factors for postoperative VTE after hip arthroscopy. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the relationship between various risk factors and the incidence of postoperative VTE after hip arthroscopy. This protocol was registered with PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42024601636).

resultsFive studies, encompassing 71,815 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy, were included in the meta-analysis. The analysis identified obesity (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.23-1.61), smoking (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.04-1.45), and age > 45 years (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.03-2.15) as significant risk factors for postoperative VTE.

conclusionObesity, smoking, and age > 45 years are found to be significant risk factors for postoperative VTE after hip arthroscopy.
