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

Soft tissue management is critical to successful perioperative management of total joint arthroplasty patients. Patient medical and surgical history can significantly complicate the soft tissue envelope of a patient undergoing primary or revision arthroplasty. Here we present 2 cases demonstrating the use of Laser-Assisted Indocyanine Green Angiography in evaluating tissue perfusion perioperatively. The information obtained with Laser-Assisted Indocyanine Green Angiography serves as a valuable clinical adjunct for surgeon decision making for total joint arthroplasty soft tissue coverage. This report demonstrates the clinical value of this underutilized tool, in an effort to highlight its effectiveness and potential uses for arthroplasty surgeons.
