Making the diagnosis in prosthetic joint infection: a European view.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) can be difficult to diagnose. Studies have shown that we are missing many infections, possibly due to poor diagnostic workup and the presence of culture-negative infection. PJI diagnosis requires a methodical approach and a standardised set of criteria. Multiple PJI definitions have been published with improved accuracy in recent years. The new European Bone and Joint Infection Society definition offers some advantages in clinical practice. It identifies more clinically important infections and accurately defines those with the highest risk of treatment failure. It reduces the number of patients with uncertain diagnoses. Classification of PJIs may offer a better understanding of treatment outcomes and risk factors for failure.
