Is there scientific evidence to support antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with periodontal disease as a means to decrease the risk of prosthetic joint infections? A systematic review.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeTo re-assess the scientific literature to ascertain if there is scientific evidence to support antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with periodontal disease as a means to decrease the risk of prosthetic joint infections.
introductionProsthetic joint infections occur in approximately 0.3-2% of patients and, of these, around 6-13% are thought to be caused by oral bacteria. Antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental procedures as a means to prevent a prosthetic joint infection has been controversial throughout the years. However, it remains unclear to what extent it has a beneficial effect. We do know that bacteraemia of oral origin is directly proportional to any ongoing inflammation or infection, and that a diseased periodontium may act as an entry for bacteria to spread to distant locations, through the bloodstream, and potentially be the cause of distant site infections. MATERIALS AND
methodsUpdated literature search using the PubMed (Medline), and the Clarivate Analytics databases, to identify eligible articles since the previous searches up to April 2019 (last 5 years).
resultsNo studies that relate periodontal disease to the development of a prosthetic joint infection were found.
conclusionCurrently, there is no evidence to support or exclude the need of antibiotic prophylaxis as a means to decrease the risk of prosthetic joint infections in patients with periodontal disease.
