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

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition often treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a procedure effective in alleviating pain but associated with potential renal complications, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). While perioperative risks are known, long-term kidney-related outcomes of TKA remain underexplored. This study investigates the association between TKA and the risks of new-onset AKI and CKD compared to non-surgical OA management. Method: A retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Research Network included adults with OA who underwent TKA (n=41,027) and matched non-surgical controls (n=41,027). Propensity score matching balanced demographics, comorbidities, and medical utilization. Renal outcomes were assessed using Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated. Sensitivity and stratified analyses evaluated robustness and subgroup-specific risks. Results: TKA significantly increased the risk of AKI (HR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.40-1.57) and CKD (HR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.24-1.37). Females showed higher risks of AKI (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.44-1.67) and CKD (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.24-1.40). Younger patients (18-64 years) exhibited elevated risks of AKI (HR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.56-2.31) and CKD (HR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.38-2.18). Sensitivity analyses confirmed consistent results across various models. Conclusion: TKA is associated with increased risks of AKI and CKD, particularly in females and younger patients. These findings underscore the need for enhanced perioperative care, renal risk stratification, and long-term monitoring to mitigate adverse renal outcomes in TKA recipients.
