Methodological Challenges in Predicting Periprosthetic Joint Infection Treatment Outcomes: A Narrative Review.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) generally requires both surgical intervention and targeted antimicrobial therapy. Decisions regarding surgical management-whether it be irrigation and debridement, one-stage revision, or two-stage revision-must take into consideration an array of factors. These include the timing and duration of symptoms, clinical characteristics of the patient, and antimicrobial susceptibilities of the microorganism(s) involved. Moreover, decisions relating to surgical management must consider clinical factors associated with the health of the patient, alongside the patient's preferences. These decisions are further complicated by concerns beyond mere eradication of the infection, such as the level of improvement in quality of life related to management strategies. To better understand the probability of successful surgical treatment of a PJI, several predictive tools have been developed over the past decade. This narrative review provides an overview of available clinical prediction models that aim to guide treatment decisions for patients with periprosthetic joint infection, and highlights key challenges to reliably implementing these tools in clinical practice.
