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

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a possible complication occurring after prosthesis implantation. We describe the case of a patient with early postoperative multidrug-resistant polymicrobial PJI and mixed infection of the surgical wound. Despite the removal of the prosthesis, the positioning of double-stage exchange, and dehiscence debridement of the surgical wound, the infection continued. Positioning of an external fixator, plastic reconstruction with a skin graft, and continuous (two years) multiple antimicrobial therapy led to the resolution of the knee infection; a knee prosthesis was implanted, but a new infection of the extensus apparatus by multidrug-resistant
