Oritavancin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-compressive strength testing and in vitro elution.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPolymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is used for local antimicrobial delivery in orthopedic infection. Oritavancin is a long half-life lipoglycopeptide with broad activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Herein, we addressed if 7.5% w/w oritavancin mixed into PMMA affects PMMA strength and whether it elutes from PMMA, compared to vancomycin.
methodsElution was assessed by placing an oritavancin- or vancomycin-loaded bead in a flow system with human plasma. Compressive strength of bland compared to oritavancin- or vancomycin-loaded PMMA was assessed after 0, 3, and 7 days of soaking in 1 ml of pooled normal human plasma at 37 °C, by testing to failure in axial compression using a servo-hydraulic testing machine.
resultsMedian compressive strength on days 0, 3, and 7 for bland PMMA compared to oritavancin- or vancomycin-loaded PMMA was 80.1, 79.4, and 72.4 MPa, respectively; 93.3, 86.4, and 65.3 MPa, respectively; and 97.8, 82.7, and 65.9 MPa, respectively. Oritavancin reduced PMMA compressive strength after 3 and 7 days (P = 0.0250 and 0.0039, respectively), whereas vancomycin reduced the PMMA compressive strength after 0, 3, and 7 days (P = 0.0039, 0.0039, and 0.0062, respectively) as compared to bland PMMA. Oritavancin-loaded PMMA had higher compressive strength than vancomycin-loaded PMMA on days 3 and 7 (P = 0.0039 and 0.0062, respectively). Compressive elastic moduli were 1226, 1299, and 1394 MPa for bland PMMA; 1253, 1078, and 1245 MPa for oritavancin-loaded PMMA; and 986, 879, and 779 MPa for vancomycin-loaded PMMA on days 0, 3 and 7, respectively. Oritavancin-loaded PMMA had higher compressive elastic moduli than vancomycin-loaded PMMA on days 0 and 7 (P = 0.0250 and 0.0062, respectively). Following polymerization, 1.0% and 51.9% of the initial amount of oritavancin and vancomycin were detected, respectively. C
conclusionsOritavancin-loaded PMMA had higher compressive strength than vancomycin-loaded PMMA on days 3 and 7 and higher compressive elastic moduli than vancomycin-loaded PMMA on days 0 and 7. However, proportionally less oritavancin than vancomycin eluted out of PMMA.
