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
Aims and Objective: The present study aims to investigate the perioperative outcomes of elderly patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA). Materials and Methods: A retrospective single-center observational study was conducted on elderly patients (>70 years) undergoing SBTKA. Perioperative outcomes were assessed, including the incidence of complications such as cardiac and renal dysfunction, rate of transfusion, and total length of stay (LOS). Descriptive statistical measures were used to summarize study parameters. Results: The average LOS for patients was 4.71 days. A total of 38 incidences of adverse events were recorded. The most common adverse event was acute kidney injury (17.16%). There was a moderate positive correlation between LOS and complications, as well as LOS and blood transfusion requirements. Patients requiring blood transfusions during their hospital stay had a longer LOS of 5.47 days compared to non-transfused patients (4.45 days). Patients with chronic kidney disease had the highest LOS (5.10 days), followed by those with Parkinson's disease (5.00 days). The LOS was relatively consistent across different age groups. Conclusion: SBTKA is a safe and satisfactory procedure for patients over 70 years old and those with comorbid conditions at a multispecialty hospital with intensive care support. However, delaying surgery when indicated may lead to worse functional outcomes, highlighting the importance of timely intervention.
