The Influence of Multiple Modifiable Risk Factors on 30-day Readmissions and 90-day Major Complications After a Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: An Analysis of a Large Claims Database.

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
backgroundPreoperative optimization of modifiable risk factors (MRFs) for arthroplasty patients is a critical aspect of predicting and improving postoperative outcomes. This study evaluates the correlation between seven MRFs and postoperative adverse outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsA retrospective review of primary TKA and THA were identified from a large medical claims database. Patients were categorized based on the number of MRF diagnoses present before surgery (anemia, malnutrition, obesity, opioid abuse/dependence, mental illness, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and tobacco use), from zero to seven. Adverse outcomes evaluated were surgical site infections (SSIs), venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), and readmissions.
resultsOf the patient records queried (THA = 303,857; TKA = 692,157), two or more MRFs were identified in 41% of THA patients and 47% of TKA patients. Patients with two or more MRFs were at an increased odds of developing an SSI, and patients with three or more MRFs had increase odds of having a 30-day hospital readmission.
conclusionsThis study adds to the compendium of literature, which promotes preoperative optimization of MRFs in arthroplasty patients to decrease the risks of 90-day postoperative complications.
