Permanent Resection Arthroplasty of the Knee as Limb Salvage Following Recurrent Periprosthetic Infection Complicated with Osteomyelitis.

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
Introduction: Permanent resection or excision arthroplasty of the knee involves the removal of any infected prosthetic material and thorough debridement, with no further reimplantation. The more common alternatives to permanent resection arthroplasty include knee arthrodesis or above-knee amputation (AKA). Case Report: We describe two cases of complex periprosthetic infections of the knee associated with subsequent osteomyelitis, which were unsuitable for re-revision arthroplasty. Both patients chose to remain with an excision arthroplasty, rather than undergo arthrodesis or AKA, respectively, and were satisfied with their quality of life at long-term follow-up. Conclusion: Although permanent resection arthroplasty of the knee is rarely performed, it remains a limb salvage option in certain cases where bone loss is limited, functional demands are low, and further surgery may present a significant risk.
