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

objectiveThis study examined the trends in demographics, the distribution of microorganisms, and antibiotic resistance in patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 231 consecutive patients diagnosed with PJI in our hospital from January 2006 to December 2015 (93 and 138 patients diagnosed in 2006-2010 and 2011-2015, respectively). The linear-by-linear chi-squared test was used to assess the trends in demographics, the distribution of microorganisms, and antibiotic resistance.

resultsGram-positive cocci accounted for 63.9% of all pathogens, and coagulase-negative

conclusionOur research revealed changes in the distribution of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance profile of the pathogens responsible for PJI over time, which could complicate treatment. These findings may serve as a reference for strategies to prevent and empirically treat PJI in China.
