Two-stage exchange Arthroplasty is a viable treatment for Periprosthetic joint infection in inflammatory diseases.

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
backgroundInflammatory diseases are chronic autoimmune systemic autoimmune diseases, which may increase the risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, to our best knowledge, few studies have studied the association between inflammatory diseases and subsequent failure after two-stage exchange reimplantation. The aims of this study were to identify the differences in (1) serum markers, synovial indicators and pathology results and (2) treatment outcomes following two-stage exchange arthroplasty between patients with or without inflammatory diseases.
methodsA retrospective review of 184 patients with PJI who underwent two-stage revision from 2014 to 2018 was conducted. PJI was diagnosed by using the MSIS criteria. Serum biomarkers, synovial fluid, organism and pathology results at the time of the PJI diagnosis and reimplantation were compared between patients with or without inflammatory diseases. Treatment success was defined according to the Delphi-based consensus criteria; Kaplan-Meier survivorship curves of the patients were generated and compared.
resultsThere was no difference in the biomarkers, pathology results or organism profile at the time of the PJI diagnosis. At reimplantation, the patients with inflammatory diseases generally had higher values of serum markers than those without inflammatory diseases. However, synovial white blood cell count was comparable in patients with inflammatory diseases (1142.8 ± 1385.3*10
conclusionTwo-stage exchange arthroplasty is a viable option for PJIs with inflammatory diseases. Synovial fluid analysis may be less affected by inflammatory diseases than serum markers did in the diagnosis persistent infection at reimplantation.
