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

Background: Failed open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of peri-articular fractures due to deep infection is associated with decreased functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Two-stage revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is often needed as a salvage procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of two-stage revision total hip and knee arthroplasty as a salvage procedure for the treatment of deep infection of peri-articular fracture fixation. Methods: Using propensity score-matching, a total of 120 patients was evaluated: 1) 40 consecutive patients were treated with planned salvage two-stage revision for the treatment of deep peri-articular infection, and 2) a control group of 80 patients who underwent two-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after non-IF TJA. An infection occurred after a fracture of the acetabulum (27.5%), femoral neck (22.5%), intertrochanteric femur (15.0%), subtrochanteric femur (5.0%), femoral shaft (7.5%), distal femur (5.0%), and tibia (15.0%). Results: At an average follow up of 4.5 years (range, 1.0-25.8), the overall failure rate was 42.5% for the IF group compared to 21.3% for the non-ORIF group ( Conclusion: Salvage two-stage revision arthroplasty for infected IF of peri-articular fractures was associated with poor outcome. The overall post-operative complications after salvage two-stage revision for infected IF of peri-articular fractures was high with 35% reinfection rates associated with the presence of mixed and resistant pathogens.
