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

backgroundPJIs following total hip and knee arthroplasty represent severe complications with broad implications, and with significant disability, morbidity, and mortality. To be able to provide correct and effective management of these cases, an accurate diagnosis is needed. Classically, acute PJIs are characterized by a preponderance of virulent microorganisms, and chronic PJIs are characterized by a preponderance of less-virulent pathogens like coagulase-negative staphylococci or

methodsIn this single-center study, we prospectively included all retrospectively consecutive collected data from patients aged over 18 years that were hospitalized from 2016 through 2022, and patients that underwent a joint arthroplasty revision surgery. A standardized diagnostic protocol was used in all cases, and the 2021 EBJIS definition criteria for PJIs was used.

results114 patients were included in our analysis; of them, 67 were diagnosed with PJIs, 12 were acute/acute hematogenous, and 55 were chronic PJIs. 49 strains of gram-positive aerobic or microaerophilic cocci and 35 gram-negative aerobic bacilli were isolated. Overall,

conclusionBased on our findings, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy in acute PJIs could be focused on the bacteria belonging to the gram-positive aerobic or microaerophilic cocci, but the results should be analyzed carefully, and the local resistance of the pathogens should be taken into consideration.
