Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is Associated With Persistent Functional Impairment and Increased Short- and Long-Term Complications Following Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2026. 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
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasingly prevalent, and more affected patients are undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the effect of comorbid IBD on short- and long-term postoperative outcomes after TKA remains incompletely defined, particularly for functional and implant-related complications. Existing TKA-specific literature has not clearly established whether this risk persists across multiple postoperative time points. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Research Network. Adults undergoing primary TKA were identified and stratified by IBD status. Propensity score matching (1:1) balanced demographics and comorbidities, yielding 6134 patients per cohort. Outcomes were assessed at 90 days, 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years and included infectious, thromboembolic, medical, functional, and implant-related complications. Risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for each endpoint. Matched cohorts were followed longitudinally across four predefined postoperative intervals after surgery. Results: Patients with IBD demonstrated significantly increased risks of sepsis, pulmonary embolism, acute kidney failure, and periprosthetic joint infection/deep surgical site infection as early as 90 days. Several risks persisted through 5 years, including thromboembolic events, ischemic stroke, fall risk, abnormal gait, and implant failure. At 5 years, revision TKA rates did not differ significantly between cohorts despite the greater complication burden observed in patients with IBD. Conclusions: Preoperative IBD was associated with sustained postoperative morbidity after TKA, spanning infectious, thromboembolic, functional, and implant-related domains. These findings support enhanced perioperative optimization, closer long-term surveillance, and targeted management strategies for this high-risk population.
