Lyme Prosthetic Joint Infection May Be Underappreciated and Can Be Treated Without Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in JBJS case connector, 2025. 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
caseA 68-year-old woman with a well-functioning total knee replacement presented with signs and symptoms of acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Lyme serology and synovial fluid PCR were performed due to Borrelia burgdorferi. The patient was treated with oral doxycycline, had prompt resolution of symptoms, and remained asymptomatic 2 years later.
conclusionLyme PJI may be underappreciated as a cause of culture-negative PJI, cannot be diagnosed in routine culture, and can be cured without surgery.
