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

objectivesThe Unyvero molecular assay was tested for the clinical resolution of discordant results, evaluating its role in prosthetic joint infection diagnosis.

methodsMultiplex PCR was performed on 45 samples from prosthesis treatment (either sonication or dithiothreitol). Analytical performance was compared to that of biofilm culture using Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria as gold standard.

resultsUnyvero and biofilm culture showed similar agreement rates compared to the gold standard (34/43 and 32/43, respectively). Both methods showed six additional identifications compatible with true infection; five positive results from biofilm culture were deemed contaminations.

conclusionsThe Unyvero system showed good performances and a significantly shorter turnaround time compared to cultural methods, presenting an added value to PJI diagnosis even when performed following a composite approach.
