Prosthetic joint infection following hip fracture and degenerative hip disorder: a cohort study of three thousand, eight hundred and seven consecutive hip arthroplasties with a minimum follow-up of five years.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeProsthetic joint infections (PJIs) occur on a regular basis and with an increasing incidence. Under reporting of complications to national registries and unreliable ICD-10 coding increases the risk of under estimating the true rate of PJIs after hip arthroplasty. Also, the microbiology and final outcome is less well described, especially for hip-fracture patients operated upon with primary and secondary fracture prostheses. Our aim was to analyse re-operation rate, outcome and microbiology of PJIs following hip arthroplasty in patients operated upon due to hip fractures and degenerative hip disorders.
methodsThis was a single-centre cohort study of 3807 consecutive hip arthroplasties performed between 1996 and 2005. The primary study outcome was to compare the incidence of PJIs. The secondary outcome was to analyse the microbiology and outcome of PJIs.
resultsWe identified 62 PJIs: seven surgical-site PJIs were found in patients operated upon for a degenerative hip disorder, 22 [hazard ratio (HR) 4.3] were found in patients operated upon for a primary fracture and prosthesis and 25 (HR 6.1) in patients operated upon with a secondary fracture and prosthesis. Outcome treatment was unfavourable for hip fracture patients with a high rate of Girdlestone operation performed (22 of 27). Staphylococcal infections dominated in the fracture group, whereas polybacterial infections were more common in patients with degenerative hip disorder.
conclusionsPatients with a displaced femoral neck fracture treated primary or secondary with arthroplasties have a greater risk of PJIs and display worse outcomes compared with patients with a total hip replacement due to degenerative hip disorders.
