Culture Negative Pasteurella multocida Confirmed Prosthetic Hip Infection using Next-generation Sequencing.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are a dreaded complication of joint arthroplasty. Zoonotic organisms such as Pasteurella multocida (PM) rarely cause PJIs. Still, these organisms can be challenging to treat due to a low suspicion index and inadequate growth on culture. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be used to identify organisms in culture-negative PJIs. This is the first reported case of a PM positive total hip arthroplasty PJI using NGS. Case Report: We report the case of a 70-year-old male presenting with a periprosthetic hip infection. PM was identified in high relative abundance on NGS and grew in culture. Subsequent intraoperative samples were culture negative for Pasteurella, but NGS demonstrated continued presence of Pasteurella. Conclusion: PM is a rare case of PJI, but a high index of suspicion must be maintained in the appropriate clinical context. NGS is a vital tool for the identification of culture-negative organisms like PM.
