Risk factors for recurrence of periprosthetic joint infection following operative management: a cohort study with average 5-year follow-up.
Article in Annals of joint, 2023. 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
Background: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remain challenging to eradicate even after surgical management, which in most cases involves either debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) or single- or two-staged revision. The purpose of this study is to determine predictors of PJI recurrence after operative management for PJI, and to determine differences in recurrence-free survival between DAIR and staged revision. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of revision hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries due to PJI between 2011 and 2018 at an academic hospital. Any patient undergoing revision surgery for PJI was included except if the index surgery information was unknown. The primary outcome was confirmed PJI recurrence. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine the relationship between the predictor variables and outcome variable. Log rank testing was used to compare recurrence-free survival between DAIR and staged revision. Results: A total of 89 patients (91 joints) underwent revision surgery due to PJI. Younger age and presence of a sinus tract were statistically significant for risk of PJI recurrence. A multivariable logistic regression model including both variables was significant for predicting recurrence of PJI (χ Conclusions: Younger patients and those with a chronic sinus tract are at significantly higher risk of recurrent PJI. This study also demonstrated that PJI can be successfully managed in the majority of cases with DAIR or staged revision.
