Functional recovery after two-stage short-interval revision of chronic periprosthetic knee joint infection.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe objective of this study was the functional recovery analysis of patients treated in two-staged short-interval procedure due to knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). MATERIALS AND
methodsIn the period from January 2015 to December 2018, a two-stage short-interval revision TKA was performed in 35 patients with PJI. Synovial fluid analysis, tissue samples and sonication method were used to diagnose PJI. Active range of motion (AROM) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score were analysed.
resultsFunctional recovery analysis demonstrated higher AROM and HSS score after the revision TKA. Median pre-operative active flexion motion was 80° with full active extension, and median post-operative active flexion was 105° with full active extension. Median HSS score pre-operatively was 22 and post-operatively was 48. Isolated bacteria in both tissue and sonication fluid were S. epidermidis (27%) and other coagulase-negative staphylococci (25%), followed by S. aureus (10%).
conclusionTwo-stage short-interval procedure of chronic knee PJI significantly improved functional status of patients in a short period of time. Thirty three out of 35 patients returned to their everyday activities. Adequate surgical technique and implant selection can lead to satisfactory functional outcome.
