Prevention and management of prosthetic joint infection in older adults.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is commonly performed on older adults. Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of TJA that can significantly impact quality of life and physical function. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology and risk factors for PJIs among older adults. We also offer an overview of current diagnostic, treatment and management strategies for PJI. Given the serious nature of PJI, prevention efforts remain essential. Several approaches to infection prevention exist, including antimicrobial prophylaxis and decolonization. Although there are standardized recommendations for antimicrobial prophylaxis, the specific regimens must be individualized based on the patient's drug allergies, potential for drug interactions, renal function and bodyweight. The best approach to pre-operative screening and decolonization programmes remains unclear. Each of these issues is reviewed in detail with a focus on adverse effects and current debates regarding best practice. Given the increased numbers of TJAs performed, additional research on prevention and management is critical.
