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

backgroundThe development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria leads to increased mortality. Little is known about development of SIRS in patients who have prosthetic joint infection (PJI). We aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, clinical outcomes, and causative organisms in patients who develop SIRS with PJI.

methodsWe retrospectively identified 655 patients (321 men, 334 women; 382 total hip, 273 total knee) who have hip or knee PJI at 1 institution between July 1, 2015 and December 31, 2020. We formed 2 groups: patients who have SIRS alert (PJI + SIRS) and patients who do not have SIRS alert (PJI). We analyzed clinical outcomes, comorbidities, and operating room culture results.

resultsOf 655 patients, 63 developed SIRS with PJI (9.6%). Intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates (27.0 versus. 6.9%, P < .001) and length of stay (7.7 versus. 5.6 days, P = .003) were greater in PJI + SIRS. At 2 years, reoperation (36.5 versus. 22.3%, P = .01) and mortality rates (17.5 versus. 8.8%, P = .03) were greater in PJI + SIRS. Risk factors included deficiency anemia (P = .001), blood loss anemia (P = .013), uncomplicated diabetes (P = .006), diabetes with complication (P = .001), electrolyte disorder (P < .00001), neurological disorder (P = .0001), paralysis (P = .026), renal failure (P = .005), and peptic ulcer disease (P = .004). Staphylococcus aureus more commonly speciated on tissue cultures in PJI + SIRS (P = .002).

conclusionThe incidence of SIRS is 10% among patients who have PJI. Development of PJI + SIRS is associated with increased lengths of stay, ICU admissions, and 2-year reoperation and mortality rates. Identifying certain comorbidities can stratify patients' risk of developing PJI + SIRS.
