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

objectivesWe have reported that oral erythromycin (EM) inhibits periprosthetic tissue inflammation in a group of patients with aseptic loosening. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of local, periprosthetic EM delivery in a rat model.

methodsUncoated Ti pins were press-fit into the right tibia of fourteen Sprague-Dawley rats following an intramedullar injection of UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) particles. Revision surgeries were performed 2 months after the primary surgery. EM was applied to the Peri-Apatite™ (PA) layer of the titanium (Ti) pins. The previously implanted Ti pins were withdrawn and replaced with Ti pins coated either with (n = 7) or without (n = 7) EM. The rats were killed 1 month after "revision surgery". The EM efficacy was evaluated by (MicroCT) μCT and histology.

resultsμCT analysis showed that bone volume percentage (BV/TV) was significantly higher in the EM-treated group compared to the untreated group (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed that EM treatment inhibits UHMWPE particle-induced periprosthetic tissue inflammation compared to the untreated group.

conclusionThis study demonstrated that periprosthetic EM delivery reduced periprosthetic inflammation and improved the quality of surrounding bone.
