The Effect of Retained Hardware on Failure Among Prosthetic Joint Infections of the Knee in the Presence and Absence of
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The risk of failure associated with different surgical strategies for prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) among patients with and without Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of 106 first PJIs of the knee between 2016 and 2020 at a rural academic medical center. The exposure was retained hardware following revision surgery for PJI, and the outcomes were recurrent infection, any infection, and a composite outcome including any infection, unplanned revision, failure to undergo reimplantation, amputation, or death within 2 years of revision. We used negative binomial regression to quantify the association between the exposure and outcome and to assess the presence of Results: Retained hardware was significantly associated with failure when defined as recurrent infection among Conclusions: We report a significant association between the presence of retained hardware and recurrent infection among
