[Management of periprosthetic infections of the knee].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
Endoprosthetic replacement is one of the most successful operations in current medicine. As the implantation of knee prostheses increases, the number of periprosthetic infections is also rising. In case of painful or early loosening of the prosthesis an infection should be excluded by joint aspiration. Retention of the prosthesis with change of mobile parts is possible only in acute infections (< 4 weeks after surgery or duration of symptoms of <3 weeks in the case of hematogenous infection), if the prosthesis is stable, the soft tissue is intact, and no difficult-to-treat pathogens were found. In other cases a one- or two-stage prosthesis exchange should be performed. In a two-stage exchange, a short interval of 2-3 weeks is possible, if biofilm-active treatment is available. Rifampin should be used targeted (after isolation of the pathogen) and only in combination with another efficient antibiotic. In this article the current management concepts of periprosthetic infection of the knee are discussed.
