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

backgroundThis study investigates the association between preoperative dehydration and 30-day postoperative complications following aseptic revision total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

methodsThe American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all patients who underwent aseptic revision TSA from 2015 to 2022. The study population was divided into two groups based on preoperative hydration status: normal (blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) < 25) and dehydration (BUN/Cr ≥ 25). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between preoperative dehydration and postoperative complications.

resultsCompared to normal hydration, dehydration was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of experiencing any complication (P = 0.004), nonhome discharge (P = 0.002), and length of stay (LOS) > 2 days (P < 0.001). After controlling for potential confounding variables with multivariate analysis, dehydration was independently significantly associated with LOS > 2 days (odds ratio 1.50, 95% confidence interval 1.05-2.14; P = 0.028).

conclusionPreoperative dehydration status is associated with a greater rate of early postoperative complications and is an independent predictor of LOS exceeding two days following aseptic revision TSA. A better understanding of dehydration as a risk factor for postoperative complications may help surgeons better select surgical candidates and improve surgical outcomes in the setting of aseptic revision TSA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III; Retrospective Cohort Comparison; Prognosis Study.
