Continuous local antibiotic perfusion technique for surgical site infections after shoulder surgery.

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: Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) is a method for preserving tissue and function against surgical site infections (SSIs) after shoulder surgery. Methods: To describe the application of the novel CLAP technique to 10 patients with SSIs after shoulder surgery that were not controlled with repeated surgical débridement or elderly patients who are insufficient physical resilience for further surgeries. Results: CLAP, consisting of gentamicin, was performed for 2 weeks, after which the infection was well-controlled. The white blood cell count and C-reactive protein level improved rapidly within 1 week of initiating CLAP, after which the patients were switched to oral antibiotics for 3 months. None of the patients experienced any adverse events. Conclusion: CLAP for SSIs after shoulder surgery was successful in preserving implants and grafts. The SSIs were controlled with no adverse events. CLAP may be an important treatment option for SSIs after shoulder surgery.
