Synovial Complement Factors in Patients with Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Undergoing Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip or Knee Joint.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The role and diagnostic value of the synovial complement system in patients with low-grade periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are unclear. We sought to evaluate, for the first time, the usefulness of synovial complement factors in these patients by measuring the individual synovial fluid levels of complement factors (C1q, C3b/iC3b, C4b, C5, C5a, C9, factor B, factor D, factor H, factor I, properdin, and mannose-binding lectin [MBL]). The patients (
