Prosthetic joint infections: diagnosis, management, and complications of the two-stage replacement arthroplasty.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Despite improved strategies to prevent prosthetic joint infection, as the total number of joint replacements increases, so does the absolute number of infections. Radiography serves as the first-line imaging modality for the assessment of a suspected prosthetic joint infection. Additionally, serial radiographs acquired after a surgery to eradicate a prosthetic joint infection are an important clinical tool. Prosthetic joint infections are often treated with a 2-stage replacement arthroplasty utilizing a prosthesis with antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement. While complications are uncommon with this procedure, imaging may demonstrate periprosthetic fractures, as well as spacer migration, joint dislocation, and spacer fracture. We describe the classification of prosthetic joint infections, the clinical and imaging diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Familiarity with the hardware utilized in the management of the prosthetic joint infection, and its potential complications is fundamental to accurate imaging interpretation.
