Incidence of periprosthetic joint infection after primary total hip arthroplasty is underestimated: a synthesis of meta-analysis and bibliometric analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The American Musculoskeletal Society updated the diagnostic criteria for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in 2011 and 2018. However, the overall incidence of PJI since the introduction of these new standards has not been assessed. In order to fill this knowledge gap, a single-group meta-analysis was conducted using articles obtained from several databases, focusing on the incidence of PJI after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our study revealed a significant difference in the incidence of PJI reported by different national or regional databases. Moreover, most cases of PJI were found to be underestimated. This highlights the crucial need for standardized diagnostic criteria and monitoring methods to accurately identify and track cases of PJI. Furthermore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on PJI after THA. This analysis explored the most productive countries, organizations, journals, and individuals in this research area. Additionally, it identified the research trends and hotspots of the last decade, highlighting the advancements and areas of focus in this field. By conducting these analyses, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of PJI after THA and provide valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers involved in the management of this condition.
