Two-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection of the hip: Culture-negative versus culture-positive infection.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionNegative culture findings are common in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip.
methodsRetrospective study was performed to total 84 patients which devided into two groups: culture-negative (n: 27) and culture-positive (n: 57).
resultsThe reimplantation rate was 96.3% and 91.2% in the culture-negative and culture-positive groups, respectively. The overall infection control rate was 92.6% and 82.4% in the culture-negative and culture-positive groups, respectively.
conclusionTwo-stage revision resulted a comparable outcome for the treatment of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection of the hip compared to the culture-positive group.
