The effects of multiple myeloma on total knee arthroplasty outcomes: A retrospective study.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 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
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common orthopedic procedure, yet outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) remain poorly understood since there are limited studies. As a result, the aim was to assess how MM affects outcomes of patients undergoing TKA. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with MM who underwent TKA were identified using a TriNetX national database from 2005 to 2024. These patients were matched to controls without MM using propensity score matching based on age, sex and relevant comorbidities. Postoperative complication rates, readmission, revision surgery, and mortality were analyzed over a one-year follow-up. Results: A total of 237, 007 patients who had TKR were matched to 353 patients with MM who had TKR. MM patients were older, male (mean age 70.3 vs 67 years) and had a higher incidence of comorbidities at baseline. MM patients had significantly higher rates of wound dehiscence (1.98 % vs 0.52 %, p = .003), periprosthetic infection (2.27 % vs 0.81 %, p = .009), acute renal failure (5.95 % vs 1.96 %, p < .001), blood loss anemia (15.01 % vs 6.53 %, p < .001),DVT (2.55 % vs 1.27 p = .049), myocardial infarction (0.85 % vs 0.21 %, p = .040), pulmonary embolism (3.12 % vs 0.84 %, p < .001) and pneumonia. However, one-year mortality rates did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusion: MM is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications following TKA compared to control patients but not mortality. This study highlights multispecialty tailored perioperative care protocols for MM patients undergoing TKA to decrease complications.
