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

Due to the increasing number of endoprosthetic joint replacement operations in older patients as well as in patients with severe primary diseases and comorbidities, the number of revision operations is continuously increasing due to infections. The infection of an endoprosthesis represents a complex clinical picture. This article provides a detailed overview of the treatment of periprosthetic infections with a focus on the diagnostic approach and treatment decision-making. A differentiation is made in periprosthetic infections between infections with a mature or immature biofilm on the surface of the implant. Depending on this, different treatment concepts are available. Highly acute infections represent an orthopedic/surgical emergency in artificial as well as in native joints. Low-grade infections play a role particularly in the area of exchange endoprosthetics. The greatest possible success is achieved only by the interplay of a timely diagnosis, sufficient surgical approach and individualized anti-infective treatment.
