A decision analysis of treatment strategies for acute periprosthetic joint infection: Early irrigation and debridement versus delayed treatment based on organism.
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 9 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether immediate or delayed tailored DAIR treatment based on microbial species is the optimal treatment for acute post-operative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).
methodsA multicenter retrospective study was conducted to identify patients who underwent debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for PJI. Decision analysis modeling was employed to determine the treatment strategy that yielded the greatest patient outcome.
results316 patients who underwent DAIR for PJI were identified.
conclusionThe decision analysis model determined that the optimal treatment strategy is to perform an immediate DAIR to achieve the greatest QALY outcomes in TKA and THA patients with acute PJI.
