Perioperative complications and postoperative outcome of primary total knee arthroplasty in octogenarians - A systematic review.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Osteoarthritis is a common disease worldwide, most commonly affecting the knee. With the rise of obesity, paired with higher life expectancy, prevalence of osteoarthritis of the knee will rise as well. Therefore, Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) rates are expected to increase 85 %, estimating 1.26 million procedures worldwide in 2030. Patients will become older with demographic changes and more elderly people will be eligible for procedure, a patient group is often considered vulnerable, with a higher risk of mortality and complications. This systematic review aimed to compare perioperative outcomes after TKA in Octogenarians with those in a younger cohort. After screening 33,336 publications on total joint arthroplasty in the elderly in the PubMed and Web of Science databases, four studies investigating TKA and matching criteria were included. No notable variations in outcomes were detected among elderly compared to younger patients. Eligibility for a procedure should be based on comorbidities and overall health status rather than age alone.
