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

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication of total joint arthroplasty for both a microbiologist and an Arthroplasty surgeon with respect to diagnosis and management. The various investigations used for diagnosis of PJI based on different reference criteria have their own fallacies. Amongst the newer biomarkers evaluated to strengthen the diagnosis of PJI, Alpha defensins has been found to be a useful synovial fluid biomarker. In this review, we have discussed the various laboratory investigations, their benefits and shortcomings for the diagnosis of PJI. Other newer diagnostic methods like molecular methods and modified culture techniques to increase the performance characteristics for the diagnosis of PJI have also been presented.
