The impact of total joint arthroplasty on arterial stiffness in osteoarthritis patients: a 7-year prospective cohort study (CAMERA study).
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 investigated the effect of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) on arterial stiffness in patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA) compared to non-OA controls. A prospective cohort of 70 severe OA patients undergoing TJA (mean age 62 ± 7) and 82 age- and sex-matched controls without OA was followed over seven years. Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), augmentation index (AIx), and central and peripheral haemodynamic parameters were measured using applanation tonometry (Sphygmocor) at baseline and follow-up. At baseline, the aPWV was significantly higher in the TJA group (p = 0.023). Over seven years, aPWV increased significantly in the control group, eliminating the between-group difference (9.3 ± 0.3 m/s in TJA vs. 9.3 ± 0.2 m/s in controls, p = 0.939). AIx was initially similar between groups, but was significantly lower in the TJA group at follow-up (p = 0.005). The increase in central diastolic blood pressure was also significantly smaller in the TJA group (p = 0.008). These results indicate that TJA may slow the progression of arterial stiffness and reduce central haemodynamic changes in severe OA patients compared to the general population.
