Are Cutibacterium acnes present at the end of primary shoulder prosthetic surgeries responsible for infection? Prospective study.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 purpose of this study was to investigate if the C. acnes present at the end of a primary shoulder arthroplasty could be responsible for shoulder arthroplasty infection. Prospective study includes patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty from January 2015 until December 2018. From all the patients included, 5 to 12 tissue samples were obtained and were specifically cultured to detect the presence of C. acnes. DNA was extracted from the C acnes isolated colonies and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis was done. A cohort of 156 patients was finally included. In twenty-seven patients, the C. acnes was present at the end of the primary surgery. Two of these patients developed a C. acnes periprosthetic shoulder infection at 6 and 4 months after the primary surgery. WGS of C. acnes isolated colonies showed that all the revision-surgery isolates clustered near to the corresponding primary-surgery isolates compared to the other independent bacterial colonies. (99.89% of similarity). C. acnes present at the end of the primary surgery can be the cause of early or delayed periprosthetic joint infections in shoulder arthroplasty.
