Above-Knee Amputation After Total Knee Replacement Infection: The Unfortunate End of an Odyssey.

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
Total knee replacement is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of late-stage symptomatic knee osteoarthritis when conservative measures have not alleviated the problem. However, as with any surgery, there are potential dangers and complications. Of these, infection is one of the most severe and may lead to life-changing outcomes for the patient. In this case report, a patient with a history of infected primary total knee arthroplasty and numerous attempts to eradicate the patient's infection is presented. After two unsuccessful two-stage revisions, and although arthrodesis was discussed and suggested, an above-knee amputation was finally applied to our patient.
