Diagnosing Periprosthetic Joint Infection: a Scoping Review.
Article in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07718386 (The Diagnosis Dilemma), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.
The Diagnosis Dilemma: Efficacy of Serum ESR, CRP, Synovial Leucocyte Esterase Dipstick Test in the Diagnosis of Chronic Infection in Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThe goal of this review is to provide an up to date understanding of the utility and limitations of the current tests utilized in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in total knee and hip arthroplasty. RECENT
findingsDespite the growth in literature surrounding PJI diagnosis, there remains challenges in establishing a diagnosis of PJI. A combination of clinical, serum, and synovial tests and microbiologic and histologic examinations can yield a diagnosis in the majority of cases. Novel molecular and imaging studies may be beneficial for indeterminant cases. A number of emerging diagnostic tests have been proposed and may be incorporated into diagnostic algorithms in the future. Recently proposed stepwise diagnostic algorithms have shown high sensitivity and specificity. The diagnosis of PJI remains challenging due to a lack of tests that can definitively rule out infection. Diagnosis and investigations should occur in a stepwise fashion. There has been a plethora of new diagnostic tests introduced in attempts to improve the accuracy of diagnostic algorithms. The definition and algorithms for the diagnoses of PJI will continue to evolve as new techniques and tests are introduced.
