Simultaneous combined retroperitoneal and posterior hip approach for the treatment of iliopsoas abscess with extension to a metal-on-metal prosthetic hip joint.

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
Iliopsoas abscess is an uncommon entity that has only rarely been associated with periprosthetic hip infection; to our knowledge, these are the first reported cases in patients with metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty. We report 2 cases of iliopsoas abscess and concomitant periprosthetic hip infection in patients with a history of MoM hip arthroplasty. Case 1 presented with an acute infection 18 months after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for instability and adverse local tissue reaction after MoM THA. Case 2 presented with an acute infection in a previously well-functioning MoM THA. Both cases were treated with combined hip and retroperitoneal approaches and required more aggressive and longer treatment than is typical for periprosthetic infection, but ultimately resulted in successful revision THAs. We outline the treatment of these 2 patients and review the previously reported literature.
