Total hip arthroplasty, associated rehabilitation care and the COVID-19 pandemic in France.

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
This study investigates the Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) activity and the associated rehabilitation care in France over the period 2013-2022, with particular attention to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, scheduled THA activity was 17% lower than predicted based on the 2013-2019 trend (-19,000 THAs). In 2022, this activity was close to the pre-2019 trend, but there has been no catch-up of scheduled THAs that did not occur in 2020 and 2021. There is no obvious explanation for this absence of catch-up. In addition, in 2020, THA activity for recent trauma was only 3.1% lower than predicted based on the 2013-2019 trend. Activity in 2022 shows a return to the pre-2019 trend, without any catch-up effect, as would be expected in such a case. Finally, the proportion of scheduled THAs followed by an associated rehabilitation stay declined sharply in 2020 (-4 percentage points compared to 2019) whereas the downward trend in this proportion had previously been much slower (-10 percentage points from 2013 to 2019). These results underscore the major effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical activity, though further investigation is needed to fully understand the long-term effects on patients' health and life expectancy.
