1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) is a devastating complication that can occur following total joint arthroplasty (TJA), causing significant morbidity and often requiring revision surgery. This goal of this manuscript is to review the current evidence for the prevention and diagnosis of PJI in patients with inflammatory arthritis. RECENT

findingsPatients with inflammatory arthritis have a higher risk of PJI after TJA; however, there are several preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures that can be optimized to lower the burden of PJI in this population. This manuscript will review the current evidence and clinical practice recommendations that support specific features of preoperative evaluation, perioperative medication management, and surgical planning in inflammatory arthritis patients undergoing TJA. Evidence and recommendations for the diagnosis of PJI in this patient population will also be reviewed. Despite increased research efforts directed towards PJI, specific approaches directed at the inflammatory arthritis patient population remain surprisingly limited. Optimization strategies such as adequately managing disease-modifying medications, treating preoperative anemia, encouraging smoking cessation, and improving weight management are strongly encouraged before entering the perioperative period. If PJI does occur in the inflammatory arthritis patient, establishing the diagnosis is challenging, since guidelines were created from investigations of PJI in primarily patients without inflammatory arthritis. Future prospective research is required to better guide clinicians in preventing and diagnosing PJI in inflammatory arthritis patients undergoing TJA.
