Increased antibiotic duration improves reoperation free survival after total hip arthroplasty irrigation and debridement.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWe aimed to determine if reoperation-free survival following irrigation and debridement (I&D) with head and liner exchange of infected primary THA is affected by: 1) postoperative antibiotic duration; 2) patient characteristics; 3) infecting organism; or 4) postoperative versus hematogenous infection.
methodsRevision THAs from 2006 to 2012 (n = 1184) were observed; 26 underwent I&D with head and liner exchange with mean 4.1-year follow-up. Patients with reoperation for infection (n = 2) versus those without reoperation (n = 24) were analyzed.
resultsIncreased postoperative antibiotic therapy duration (p = 0.0333) decreased risk of reoperation for infection.
conclusionChronic antibiotic suppression should be considered following THA I&D with head and liner exchange.
