Burden of Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Following Periprosthetic Joint Infection Based on the Korean National Registry between 2011 and 2019.

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
Background: This study aimed to document the epidemiology of revision total knee arthroplasty following periprosthetic joint infection (RTKA-f-PJI) in Korea between 2011 and 2019 and analyze the economic burden of RTKA-f-PJI. Methods: Epidemiological data on RTKA-f-PJI in Korea between 2011 and 2019 were obtained from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database. The annual numbers and growth rates of entire RTKAs and RTKA-f-PJIs and the RTKA-f-PJI rate (RTKA-f-PJI / entire RTKAs) were determined. Subgroup analyses were performed according to sex and age. TKA failure was categorized into early and late failures, and RTKA-f-PJI rates were compared between the groups. The total and mean personal costs for each year were compared between the RTKA-f-PJI and RTKA-f-non-PJI groups. Results: Between 2011 and 2019, the total growth rate of RTKA-f-PJI was 57.6%, and the RTKA-f-PJI rate was maintained at approximately 30%. The RTKA-f-PJI rate was higher in males than in females. The number of RTKA-f-PJIs markedly increased in patients aged 70-79 years and ≥ 80 years. The RTKA-f-PJI rates for early and late failures were 45% and 24.8%, respectively. The total cost of RTKA-f-PJI increased from $15,757,308 in 2011 to $19,606,594 in 2019. The mean personal cost of RTKA-f-PJI was more than 4 times higher than that of RTKA-f-non-PJI. Conclusions: The number and socioeconomic costs of RTKA-f-PJIs increased significantly in Korea between 2011 and 2019. Given that RTKA-f-PJI is a complex procedure associated with higher complication rates and unsatisfactory functional outcomes, continuous efforts to reduce the incidence of PJI after TKA are necessary.
