Rabbit model of a biofilm-contaminated, percutaneous orthopaedic endoprosthesis.
Review in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Preclinical models of osseointegrated orthopaedic implants tend to focus on implant stability, surface modifications to enhance integration with host tissue, and reduction in iatrogenic contamination through antibiotic-eluting/bacteria-resistant coatings. While these studies are imperative to early success in osseointegration, continued success of percutaneous devices throughout the lifespan of the patient is also critically important. A perpetual challenge to the implant is formation of bacterial biofilm on the abutment. Once adhered, biofilm-based bacteria are recalcitrant and readily contaminate the subcutaneous soft tissue of the stoma. To this end, the rabbit model reported herein replicates the clinical scenario of a patient with a biofilm-contaminated abutment. This model enables preclinical testing of advanced therapeutics beyond the traditional antibiotic-based approach, potentially increasing the longevity of the device.
