Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention (DAIR) in Acute Hematogenous Total Knee Arthroplasty Infections: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Implant retention with eradication of infection to maintain limb function is ideal and debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) have been reported to have variable success rates depending on several factors, including the duration of infection, the host immunity, the virulence of the causative microorganism, and the technique employed. In this case series, we present a series of successful cases presented with PJI after TKA and were treated using DAIR either via impregnation of vancomycin beads or calcium sulfate beads (antibiotic stimulan).
