Effect of Clinically Uninfected Orthopedic Implants and Pacemakers/AICDs in Low-Risk
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe standard treatment duration in low-risk
methodsWe conducted a post hoc analysis of data from the prospective Invasive
resultsOf the 1288 patients enrolled, 292 satisfied criteria for low-risk SAB. Forty-three patients (15%) had a clinically uninfected pacemaker/AICD or orthopedic implant. Patients with foreign bodies were significantly older (mean age, 72 vs 62 years for those without;
conclusionsLow-risk patients with clinically uninfected foreign bodies received a similar duration of antimicrobial therapy without a significant impact on mortality rate. The observed higher hazard ratio of SAB-related events within 1 year necessitates additional studies before recommendations concerning treatment duration in this patient subgroup can be adapted or modified.
