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

A comprehensive overview of current Asian joint arthroplasty registries, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses and providing a case for establishing registries nationwide, is given. Pertinent information required for the future establishment and improvement of Asian joint arthroplasty registries is given. Six registries in Asia were identified, with three, Indian Joint Registry, Japanese Orthopaedic Association National Registry and Pakistan National Joint Registry having developed official websites and published annual reports. The majority of both hip and knee surgeries in India and Pakistan were carried out on men, in contrary to Japan, where the majority of knee surgeries were conducted in women. Osteoarthritis was the primary indication for knee surgery, whereas osteonecrosis was the main indication for hip surgery in India and Pakistan, compared to osteoarthritis in Japan. Many countries in Asia have attempted to report data on joint arthroplasties, though little information on nationwide registries is available, with three countries - Japan, India and Pakistan - having made their joint registry data available to the public.
