Biofilm Related Total Knee Arthroplasty Infection: Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment.

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
Biofilm related implant infection is undoubtedly a relevant challenge in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with our comprehension steadily progressing and novel management approaches being developed. The aim of this article was to review the most important advances in approaches to combat infections due to biofilm-forming bacteria in TKA. The main conclusions were the following: 1) Fundamental management techniques for infected TKA include open DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention), and one and two-stage revision TKA; 2) Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) appears to diminish the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI); 3) Restraint of quorum sensing seems to avert PJI after TKA; 4) A recent in vitro study showed promising results in the prevention and management of PJI after TKA using PMMA [poly(methyl methacrylate)] loaded with up to 100 mg of rifampin.
