Predisposing factors for recurrence of chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis: a retrospective observational cohort study from a tertiary referral center in Brazil.

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
backgroundThe incidence of posttraumatic osteomyelitis (PTO) is increasing despite new treatment strategies. Assessment of patients' outcomes following PTO is challenging due to multiple variables. The study goals are to determine the frequency of recurrence following PTO treatment and identify factors predisposing patients to treatment failure.
methodsBetween August 01, 2007 to August 30, 2012, a single-center retrospective cohort study was performed among 193 patients diagnosed with PTO following orthopedic surgery for fracture care. Bone and soft tissues were collected for cultures and PTO was defined according to CDC/NHSN criteria. Patient, injury, surgery-associated variables, and microbiological records were reviewed for risk factors associated to recurrence of PTO. Univariate and multivariable analyses using logistic regression were performed, with
resultsThirty-eight patients (20%) of 192 diagnosed and treated for PTO failed their treatment. Factors associated with recurrence were age between 61 and 80 years [hazard ratio (HR) = 6.086, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.459;15.061,
conclusionsRisk factors associated with recurrence of PTO are difficult to measure. The present study revealed that elderly patients, intraoperative blood transfusions, and infection due to
