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
We present a case with bilateral hematogenous hip periprosthetic joint infection with Enterococci which could be treated successfully with implant retention despite chronification and partial loosening. A debridement and replacement of the modular components was carried out with replacement of a loose acetabular cup on the right side. Considering poor local infection control, antibiotic treatment was enhanced by local application of vancomycin. In the present case, treatment of chronic enterococcal periprosthetic joint infection while preserving the implants was successful despite unfavorable odds. Considering the duration of infection, causative microorganism, and loosening of one of the implants, staged exchange of both hip replacements would have been the standard procedure. This case illustrates that some concepts have to be challenged from time to time.
