Body Mass Index Above 35 Has Increased Risk of Complications but Still Achieves Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Patient-Reported Outcomes After Anterior-Based Total Hip 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
Background: Increased perioperative complications in obese patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have previously been reported. There is a relative paucity of data evaluating these complications strictly in the context of anterior-based THA. In this study, we compare the outcomes following anterior-based THA as a function of body mass index (BMI). Methods: A 1:1 matched retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients undergoing anterior-based THA from January 2022 to June 2024 with a BMI >35 kg/m Results: There were 280 patients included (140 per group). There were 27 postoperative complications in the BMI >35 kg/m Conclusions: The present study found that despite significant differences in postoperative complications, there were significant improvements in PROMs in patients with a BMI above and below 35 kg/m
