Testing of antibiotic releasing implant coatings to fight bacteria in combat-associated osteomyelitis - an in-vitro study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeSurgical procedures to prevent osteomyelitis after trauma can be supported by local application of antibiotics. This in-vitro study investigated the release and impact of antibiotics from implant coatings against bacteria associated with combat-related osteomyelitis.
methodsK-wires were coated with poly(D,L-lactide) and ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, colistin, daptomycin or cefoxitin in different concentrations. The release was quantified and antimicrobial activity tested for different gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, alone and in combination. To exclude toxic effects, primary osteoblast-like cells were exposed to antibiotic coating concentrations.
resultsAll antibiotics alone and in combination showed an initial burst release with dose dependent antimicrobial activity and no negative effects on osteoblast-like cells, except for cefoxitin.
conclusionsImplant coatings can be customized with single or double antibiotic coatings to effectively fight different bacteria and also mixed infections in the treatment of a combat-acquired osteomyelitis. However, optimal drug load and degradation behaviour of individual antibiotics have to be considered.
