Perioperative and Modifiable Risk Factors for Periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJI) and Recommended Guidelines.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a complication that is associated with high morbidity as well as high healthcare expenses. The purpose of this review is to examine patient and perioperative modifiable risk factors that can be altered to help improve rates of PJI. RECENT
findingsEvidence-based review of literature shows that improved control of post-operative glycemia, appropriate management of obesity, malnutrition, metabolic syndrome, preoperative anemia, and smoking cessation can help minimize risk of PJI. Additionally, use of Staphylococcus aureus screening, preoperative evaluation of vitamin D levels, screening for urinary tract infection, and examination of dental hygiene can help with improving rates of PJI; similarly, appropriate management of perioperative variables such as limiting operating room traffic, appropriate timing, and selection of prophylactic antibiotics and surgical site preparation can help to decrease rates of PJI. In summary, PJI is a morbid complication of total joint arthroplasty. Surgeons should be vigilant of modifiable risk factors that can be improved upon to help minimize the risk of PJI.
