What evidence is there for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with periodontal disease to decrease the risk of prosthetic joint infections?
Article in Evidence-based dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Design Systematic review.Study population The present study evaluated articles about patients with prosthetic joint infections after the surgical procedure and the correlation with periodontal disease.Data analysis The evaluation was performed using case reports and previous systematic reviews.Results In this study, the authors did not include studies using qualitative analysis. They did not find studies which correlated periodontal disease with the development of a prosthetic joint infection.Conclusions In conclusion, the authors did not have evidence to support or exclude the need of antibiotic prophylaxis as a means to decrease the risk of prosthetic joint infections in patients with periodontal disease.
