Current concepts in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of fracture-related infection (FRI).
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Fracture-related infection (FRI) is one of the most challenging complications following operative management of fractures. It can have profound implications for the patient, can be associated with considerable morbidity and often lead to impaired outcomes. There are significant healthcare-related costs. In recent years, there has been significant progress towards developing preventative strategies. Furthermore, diagnostic algorithms and management protocols have recently been reported. Lack of a strong evidence base has previously hindered efforts to implement these and develop established standards of care. There are multiple aspects of care that need to be considered and a multi-disciplinary approach is recommended. In this narrative review, we present the most up-to-date recommendations in the prevention, diagnosis and management of FRI.
