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

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of long-term aspirin use (L-AU) on perioperative outcomes in Lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) using the US National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.

methodsData from 485,224 LIF patients (2010-2019) were extracted from the NIS. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance baseline characteristics between L-AU and non-L-AU groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to compare complication risks and healthcare economic indicators.

resultsDespite a higher baseline comorbidity burden in the L-AU group, PSM-adjusted analysis revealed that L-AU significantly increased the risk of acute cerebrovascular events (aOR = 1.334, 95% CI 1.201-1.481, P < 0.001) and was associated with prolonged hospitalization. However, L-AU significantly reduced the risk of prosthetic-related complications (uOR = 0.595, P < 0.001) and orthopedic device-related complications (uOR = 0.682, P < 0.001). Healthcare economic analysis showed that L-AU increased hospitalization costs by $181 (P < 0.001) but shortened length of stay by 0.07 days (P < 0.001).

conclusionL-AU exhibits a dual effect in the perioperative period of LIF, potentially increasing cerebrovascular risk while reducing implant-related complications through anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
