Microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip devices for detection and diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections.
Review in Biomedical microdevices, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of prosthetic joint implantation, which poses a significant burden on both individuals and society. Effective treatment relies on the rapid identification of the underlying cause; however, the diagnosis of PJI remains challenging, inefficient, and time-consuming. Current detection protocols based on clinical signs and conventional cultures often fail to provide definitive results. Additionally, advanced molecular analyses of synovial fluid samples, while effective, require specialized personnel and are impractical for on-site applications. This review aims to highlight the potential of microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip technologies in enhancing the identification of PJI, offering a rapid and accurate diagnostic method.
