Intraosseous Regional Administration of Vancomycin Prophylaxis for Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
The advantages of prophylaxis with intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include the ability to deliver antibiotics directly to the surgical bed and avert systemic delivery; the ability to precisely time and quickly administer vancomycin to achieve the highest concentrations at the beginning and throughout the surgical procedure; and the ability to avert several common and potentially serious adverse effects of intravenous vancomycin. Indications for IORA of vancomycin prophylaxis include the following clinical scenarios: revision TKA; obesity; diabetes; beta-lactam allergy; known colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); individuals coming from institutions with a high MRSA incidence; previous ligamentous surgical procedure or osteotomy; current or recent smokers; in the primary TKA setting if the individual is considered high-risk as defined by the criteria above; and during reimplantation following 2-stage exchange for PJI.
