Secondary Infection of Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Leading to Amputation in a Patient With a Modular Knee Endoprosthesis.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 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
Three years after endoprosthetic reconstruction of the proximal tibia, a patient presented with a skin ulceration near the surgical site. The knee was not clinically infected, but the patient had elevated serum cobalt levels. Dermatological evaluation diagnosed a friction ulcer. The ulcer failed to heal, and the patient underwent débridement and local flap advancement. Cultures grew Staphylococcus epidermidis, and they were treated with antibiotics. The ulceration recurred and repeated limb salvage was discussed, although eventually, the patient elected to undergo amputation. Pathology from the resected ulcer showed fibrinoid necrosis with aseptic lymphocytic vasculitis-associated lesion.
