Preoperative strategies to prevent periprosthetic joint infection after knee replacement: evidence-based recommendations for multidisciplinary practice.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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 severe and challenging complication following joint replacement that significantly impacts patient outcomes and implant longevity. Various factors contribute to PJI onset, including patient-related comorbidities and surgical procedures. Preventive strategies are categorized into preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative measures. Preoperative risk factors can be classified as general or local. General ones include comorbidity management (metabolic disorder, rheumatic and inflammatory diseases), nutritional optimization, weight control, bacterial decolonization, and lifestyle modifications. Local factors involve avoiding intra-articular injections before surgery and assessing previous knee interventions, in addition to implementing preoperative physiotherapy and ensuring proper skin preparation. Preoperative patient optimization significantly improves outcomes following knee replacement by reducing PJI risk, as well as hospital stays and recovery times. Implementing standardized, evidence-based preoperative strategies can enhance surgical success and long-term implant survival. Multidisciplinary collaboration between surgeons, general practitioners, and healthcare providers is essential to minimize infection risks and improve patient outcomes following joint replacement. This paper focuses on preoperative optimization, highlighting evidence-based recommendations to minimize the risk of PJI in patients undergoing knee replacement.
