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

Periprosthetic infection remains a major complication in arthroplasty; increasing numbers of primary and revision arthroplasties are being followed by increasing numbers of periprosthetic infections. In cases of possible infection, the surgeon must have a treatment concept that can be individually adjusted. Diagnosis is a challenge and should include a variety of investigations. In early and secondary infections, component retention can be successful. Surgical debridement is the key to success. All late and chronic infections should be treated by explantation of all components because of infection with biofilm-producing microbes. The individual patient's situation and the surgeon's experience should determine whether to choose direct single-stage or two-stage revision. New diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can improve outcomes but cannot replace the need for prophylactic efforts.
