[Replacement of infected knee and hip endoprostheses].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Infections occur in 0.5-5% of cases after implantation of an endoprosthesis and represent one of the most severe complications of artificial joint replacements. Approximately 300,000 primary implantations for hip and knee prostheses are carried out in Germany annually with a corresponding number of early and late infections. This means that approximately 4,000-6,000 cases are to be expected annually. Periprosthetic infections normally lead to a significant loss of function and quality of life for patients and the complex remediation is costly. Therefore, preventive measures, such as perioperative prophylaxis with antibiotics, maintaining highly sterile conditions during operations and an expedient selection of patients are of substantial importance. The basic principles of an adequate restoration include identification of the pathogen, local eradication of the infection mostly after removal of the prosthesis, pathogen-oriented systemic and local antibiotic therapy and finally re-implantation of the revision prosthesis under infection-free conditions. The standard procedure for revision surgery is a two-phase replacement with maintenance of an infection-free interval before renewal of the prosthesis. The use of single-phase or multi-phase strategies, as well as the selection of cemented or cement-free revision, varies between centers as a definitive evaluation is not yet available.The most important parameters for successful treatment of periprosthetic infections have been identified as the earliest possible diagnosis, radical surgical cleansing with an adequate antibiotic therapy and successful restoration has been reported in approximately 80% of cases. Because of the complex therapy regime, treatment in specialized centers is generally recommended especially under the aspect of a demanding patient monitoring.
