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
backgroundThe burden of prosthetic joint infection in combination with antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is a rising dilemma for patients experiencing total joint replacements. Around 0.8-2% of patients experience prosthetic joint infections, while up to 21% of patients are considered fatal cases after 5 years.
methodsIn this study, we tested
resultsWe found a protective influence of omega-3 fatty acids on osteoblasts when present in co-culture with
conclusionsOmega-3 fatty acids can be a valuable antimicrobial agent in terms of decreasing the risk of on-site infection during surgery. Omega-3 fatty acids were shown to decrease the bacterial load within the first 6 h of incubation and increase the survivability of osteoblasts.
