Mind the clot: Predictors of pulmonary embolism after total knee arthroplasty- An analysis of 150,119 cases.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 leveraged the robust, multicenter ACS NSQIP database to evaluate risk factors associated with the development of pulmonary embolism (PE) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our findings demonstrate that advanced age, elevated body mass index (BMI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), preoperative thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia, congestive heart failure (CHF), and prolonged operative time are independently associated with increased odds of postoperative PE. These results underscore the importance of comprehensive preoperative risk stratification and individualized perioperative management strategies aimed at minimizing thromboembolic complications in this patient population.
