The multidisciplinary approach to managing prosthetic joint infection: could this lead to improved outcomes?
Review in Annals of joint, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of the total joint arthroplasty (TJA). It presents a great challenge for the treating clinician. Diagnosis as well as management can prove difficult with significant morbidity for the patients and cost for patients, health care providers and society as a whole. Outcomes of equally challenging pathology such as tumors and polytrauma have been shown to be improved when patients are managed by a team as specialists as opposed to single individuals. The purpose of this study is to review the role of the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approach in the diagnosis and management of PJI. We examine the influence of this approach on clinical outcomes in patients with PJI. We also discuss the organisational and logistical issues associated with establishment of a MDT as well as several other issues not mentioned in the contemporary orthopaedic literature. All published literature examining the role of multidisciplinary care in the management of PJI and the influence of this approach to the management and outcomes of patients with this diagnosis were included. Studies published in languages other than English were excluded. There is a paucity of data on the influence of multidisciplinary care on outcomes of the management of PJI. Evidence suggests that the MDT has important role in ensuring all factors in the management of this complex group are considered and best possible care is delivered. Multicentre randomised clinical trials are required to assess the influence of MDT'S on outcome as well as important questions around the structuring of these teams.
