Reducing surgical site infection in arthroplasty of the lower limb: A multi-disciplinary approach.
Article in Bone & joint research, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesTo review the current best surgical practice and detail a multi-disciplinary approach that could further reduce joint replacement infection.
methodsReview of relevant literature indexed in PubMed.
resultsSurgical site infection is a major complication following arthroplasty. Despite its rarity in contemporary orthopaedic practice, it remains difficult to treat and is costly in terms of both patient morbidity and long-term health care resources.
conclusionsEmphasis on education of patients and all members of the health-care team and raising awareness in how to participate in preventative efforts is imperative.
