Hip and knee arthroplasty in solid organ transplant patients: Results from a Turkish government-based health registry.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 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
objectiveThis national database study of a large cohort aimed to investigate the mortality and complication rates of patients with a his tory of solid organ transplantation (SOT) who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA), or hemiarthroplasty (HA). Additionally, this study aimed to identify predictive factors for medical and surgical complications as well as mortality in this patient population.
methodsThis cohort study utilized data from the Turkish Ministry of Health to assess SOT patients undergoing TKA, THA, and HA. Propensity score matching was applied to create a comparable control group. Primary endpoints included medical and surgical complica tions within 90 days and mortality rates (in-hospital, at 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, and overall).
resultsKidney transplantation was the most common type of transplant (n = 666, 81.5%), followed by liver transplantation (n = 101, 12.4%). Revision rates were 4.5% in the SOT group and 3.9% in the control group (P = 0.472). SOT patients exhibited higher rates of medical complications, including chronic renal failure, pneumonia, electrolyte imbalances, urinary complications, and transfusion needs (P < 0.001). Mechanical complications were less frequent in the SOT group (2.57%) compared to the control group (3.7%), but prosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates were higher (2.57% vs. 1.4%, P = 0.035). Fracture history (HR: 4.82, 95% CI: 1.66-13.97, P = 0.004), chronic obstruc tive pulmonary disease (HR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.17 2.46, P = 0.005), and age (HR: 1.034, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P < 0.001) were identified as indepen dent predictors of 90-day mortality. Patients undergoing HA experienced significantly higher mortality compared to TKA and THA (17.5%, 1.1%, and 1.7%, respectively; P < 0.001).
conclusionSOT patients undergoing joint arthroplasty have elevated risks of complications and mortality, particularly in the presence of fractures. Multidisciplinary management, perioperative optimization of modifiable comorbidities, and close monitoring may help mitigate these risks and improve patient outcomes.
