1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Orthopedic implant-associated infections such as prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) lead to devastating complications for patients and impose significant financial burdens on the healthcare systems. Although the primary orthopedic implant associated infection rate is relatively low (0.3-9%), the reinfection rate after implant revisions can be as high as 20% to 40%. To evaluate novel therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating infections associated with primary and revision implants, it is essential to develop appropriate animal models that closely emulate clinical realities. Here we discuss existing animal models developed for orthopedic implant revision surgeries including small animal models in rats and mice, and larger animal models in rabbits, sheep, and mini-pigs. While larger animal models offer the advantage of more closely mimicking human surgical procedures, implant dimensions, and infection treatment protocols, rodent models are more cost-effective and better suited for screening experimental prophylaxes and therapeutics. Existing animal revision models have focused on primary infections established by
