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

objectiveTo summarize the experience in the treatment of infection after limb salvage surgery for malignant tumor around knee joint, and explore the risk factor related to infection after limb salvage surgery.

methodsA clinical data of 212 patients with malignant tumor around the knee joint underwent limb salvage surgery between January 2008 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 14 cases had infection after limb salvage surgery. Two cases of acute infection were treated with sensitive antibiotics; 12 cases of chronic infection were treated with debridement and antibiotic bone cement occupying device implantation in the first stage, and prosthesis revision (8 cases), knee joint fusion (2 cases), or amputation (2 cases) in the second stage after infection control. The age, gender, preoperative chemotherapy cycle, bone marrow suppression, serum albumin, hemoglobin, operation time, postoperative drainage time, and blood transfusion volume were analyzed to screen the risk factors related to infection after limb salvage surgery. The infection and tumor recurrence were observed, and the limb function was evaluated by Enneking scoring system.

resultsThe univariate analysis showed that the preoperative chemotherapy cycle, bone marrow suppression, operation time, and postoperative drainage time were the influencing factors of postoperative infection (

conclusionThe time of limb salvage surgery, preoperative chemotherapy cycle, and drainage time after limb salvage surgery are the risk factors of infection after limb salvage surgery. Early etiological examination and drug sensitivity test is the key to the treatment of infection. One-stage debridement combined with antibiotic bone cement occupying device can effectively cure infection and save patients' limbs.
