Brucella infection following total joint arthroplasty: A systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionThe aim of this systematic review was to analyze the results of published treatment options in Brucella infection following total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
methodsWe performed a systematic review of the literature regarding outcomes of Brucella infection after TJA (hip and knee). We searched multiple databases for articles in the area published from 1950 to 2016.
resultsA total of 18 patients (12 male and 6 female; mean age 59 years) from 14 published studies were identified. The minimum follow-up time was 6 months (range, 6-120 months). Seven patients were treated with debridement or antibrucella treatment only. Eleven patients (61%) underwent removal of the prosthesis and were treated with one or two-stage exchange arthroplasty. The mean duration of antibiotic therapy was 5.8 months. There was no relapse of infection.
conclusionsIn the absence of loosening of the components of the prosthesis, an attempt to treat Brucella infection medically might be a reasonable choice. One or two-stage exchange arthroplasty could provide successful results without relapse of infection when combined with appropriate antibiotherapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.
