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

backgroundThe treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is truly challenging. Patients with infected arthroplasty face physical and psychosocial problems. Furthermore, treatment costs represent a tremendous socioeconomic burden.

aimThis article presents an overview of the preoperative diagnosis of PJI and one- or two-stage endoprosthetic exchange options.

methodA selective literature search was performed focusing on diagnostics and innovative surgical treatment concepts in PJI.

resultsThe identification of the underlying pathogen is still the main focus in the diagnosis of PJI. State-of-the-art therapy for PJI with mature biofilm consists of implant removal with one- or two-stage exchange arthroplasty. One-stage exchange offers lower morbidity and improved functional outcome, whereas a two-stage procedure is, according to current knowledge, more favourable in terms of infection control. The novel short-term two-stage exchange regimen combines the advantages of both possibilities. DISCUSSION: Prosthetic joint infection represents a significant challenge for the othopaedic surgeon. Novel treatment options can help to improve outcome and lower the costs to the health care system.
