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

Little is known about the clinical use of antifungal-loaded acrylic bone cement in the treatment of periprosthetic hip and knee joint infections (PJIs). Hence, we performed a literature search using PubMed/MEDLINE from inception until December 2021. Search terms were "cement" in combination with 13 antifungal agents. A total of 10 published reports were identified, which described 11 patients and 12 joints in which antifungal-loaded cement was employed. All studies were case reports or case series, and no randomized controlled trials were identified. In 6 of 11 patients, predisposing comorbidities regarding the emergence of a fungal PJI were present. The majority of the studies reported on infections caused by
