Age and waist circumference as key determinants of postoperative thrombosis and squatting recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

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
backgroundThrombosis is a common postoperative complication after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and the ability to squat is an important functional outcome reflecting recovery of knee function. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing postoperative thrombosis as well as the ability to squat within 1 year after UKA.
methodsData from UKA patients were retrospectively analyzed and grouped based on the occurrence of thrombosis (including deep vein thrombosis and superficial vein thrombosis) and the ability to squat within 1 year. Factors affecting thrombosis and squatting were compared and analyzed using multifactorial logistic regression.
resultsUnivariate analysis revealed that age (P = 0.014), pre-operative haemoglobin (P = 0.044), and gender (P = 0.047) were associated with thrombosis, while multifactorial analysis found age (P = 0.024) as the key factor. Regarding squatting ability, univariate analysis identified age (P = 0.018), body weight (P = 0.001), BMI (P = 0.001), waist circumference (P < 0.001), pre-operative VAS score (P = 0.002), and family living conditions (P = 0.019) as influencing factors, with multifactorial analysis identifying waist circumference (P = 0.002) as a significant factor.
conclusionsOlder age increases the likelihood of thrombosis after UKA. Additionally, a larger waist circumference decreases the likelihood of squatting within 1 year after surgery.
