Possible risk factors for acute and chronic deep periprosthetic joint infections in primary total knee arthroplasty. Do BMI, smoking, urinary tract infections, gender, and ASA classification have an impact?
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeAim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of the patient related factors body mass index (BMI), urinary tract infection, current smoking, gender, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification on the incidence of acute and chronic deep periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsAll patients undergoing revision surgery for a deep PJI of primary TKA between July 2012 and December 2016 were included in this study. All relevant data was collected from the medical records. Acute deep PJI was defined when PJI was diagnosed within the first 6 weeks after primary TKA, chronic PJI was defined when patients demonstrated PJI later than 6 weeks after primary TKA.
resultsA total of 57 patients was included in this study with 13 cases of acute PJI and 44 of chronic PJI. Overweight patients (BMI > 25 kg/m
conclusionAn elevated BMI (>25 kg/m
