Implications for diagnosis and treatment of peri-spinal implant infections from experiences in periprosthetic joint infections-a literature comparison and review.
Review in Journal of spine surgery (Hong Kong), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Both, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and peri-spinal implant infection (PSII) are serious complications occurring in arthroplasty and spine instrumentation with absolute numbers expected to rise in the next years. The currently existing literature data describing the characteristics of PSII are limited when compared to PJI studies. However, both PJI and PSII exhibit similarities concerning pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. This literature review aims at comparing PJI and PSII and to develop implications for diagnosis and treatment of PSII from existing studies about PJI. The review was performed on the basis of a structured PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Medline analysis and existing guidelines, with 99 references being included. The results indicate that specific terms like re-infection should be defined in the context of PSII based on existing definitions of PJI, that
