Pathogens in FRI - Do bugs matter? - An analysis of FRI studies to assess your enemy.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a devasting complication for both patients and their treating Orthopaedic surgeon that can lead to loss of limb function or even amputation. The unique and unpredictable features of FRI make its diagnosis and treatment a significant challenge. It has substantial morbidity and financial implications for patients, their families and healthcare providers. In this article, we perform an in-depth and comprehensive review of FRI through recent and seminal literature to highlight evolving definitions, diagnostic and treatment approaches, focusing on common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus
