Metal Artifact Reduction Sequences MRI: A Useful Reference for Preoperative Diagnosis and Debridement Planning of Periprosthetic Joint Infection.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 diagnosis and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is complex and the use of MRI in PJI is gaining attention from orthopedic surgeons as MR technology continues to advance. This study aimed to investigate whether metal artefact reduction sequence (MARS) MRI could be used as an adjunct in the preoperative diagnosis of PJI and to explore its role in PJI debridement planning. From January 2020 to November 2021, participants with metal joint prostheses that needed to be judged for infection were prospectively enrolled. According to Musculoskeletal Infection Society standards, 31 cases were classified as infection, and 20 as non-infection. The sensitivity and specificity of MARS MRI for the diagnosis of PJI were 80.65% and 75%, respectively. In MARS MRI, the incidence of bone destruction, lamellar synovitis, and extracapsular soft tissue oedema were significantly higher in PJI than in non-PJI. Fourteen suspicious occult lesions were found in the preoperative MARS MRI in 9 cases, and the location of 9 infection lesions was confirmed intraoperatively. In conclusion, MARS MRI is an effective diagnostic tool for PJIand can provide a visual reference for preoperative surgical planning.
