Current Rates and Trends of Venous Thromboembolism After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: An Updated Analysis Utilizing the NSQIP Database.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure volumes are increasing. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a significant complication, with incidence rates between 0.45% and 5.30%. Enhanced rapid-recovery pathways and chemoprophylaxis evolution may correlate with decreased VTE events over time. This study analyzes recent trends of VTE after THA and TKA. Methods: Adults undergoing THA or TKA between 2009 and 2022 were identified from the National Quality Surgical Improvement Program database using Current Procedural Terminology codes. VTE was defined as the occurrence of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) event in the same patient. The 30-day incidence data of VTE, DVT, and PE were trended over time. Multivariate regression analyses estimated the adjusted risk of events by year of surgery relative to 2009 and identified associated risk factors. Results: A total of 382,515 THAs and 593,060 TKAs were included with 5713 DVTs and 3807 PEs observed. Trends of 30-day VTE decreased over the study period in THA (0.8%-0.5%, Conclusions: The 30-day VTE incidence following THA and TKA has significantly decreased since 2009. Both DVT and PE have decreased in the TKA population, likely due to improved preoperative patient optimization and enhanced recovery pathways, despite shifts toward more selective antiplatelet chemoprophylaxis.
