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

The burden of musculoskeletal infections is permanently growing. A probable explanation for this development could be the increasing number of elderly people undergoing extensive surgery using implants and prosthetic devices while having more significant comorbidities (e.g. cardiovascular, metabolic and malignant). However, a relative reduction of acute (hematogenous) osteomyelitis compared to the occurrence of much more complex situations, such as diabetic foot syndrome or chronic osteitis and prosthetic implant infections is being observed. This poses new challenges for the clinician in managing these patients. Furthermore, there is the evolving threat of antimicrobial resistance as well as the increasing amount of infections with Gram-negative pathogens. Several aspects have to be considered for successful management of musculoskeletal infections: the site of infection and feasibility of local surgical treatment, the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment, the inclusion of comorbidities and their specific treatment in an advanced therapeutic concept as well as the interdisciplinary approach led by surgeons and infectious disease specialists.
