Therapeutic effect of modified iliac bone graft combined with antibiotic bone cement on lower limb bone infection complicated with large segment bone defect: An Observational Study.

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: Lower limb bone infection, particularly when combined with large segmental bone defects, poses significant challenges in treatment, often resulting in recurrence and complications. Traditional methods like surgical debridement and bone transplantation exhibit limited efficacy and high postoperative complications. Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of modified iliac bone graft combined with antibiotic bone cement in the treatment of lower limb bone infection complicated with large segment bone defect. Method: The clinical data of 50 patients with lower limb bone infection complicated with large segment bone defect who received modified iliac bone graft combined with antibiotic bone cement technique in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with modified iliac bone graft combined with antibiotic bone cement technique and received postoperative antibiotic therapy. The patients were followed up after the operation, and the therapeutic effect and complications were recorded. Results: The healing rate and healing time of the group with antibiotic cement were better than those of the control group without antibiotic cement in infection scope, infection event, deep infection, superficial infection and overall infection (P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that infection range, BMI and postoperative C-reactive protein were independent risk factors for surgical efficacy (P<0.05), while the effects of weight, height, preoperative C-reactive protein, operative time and combined antibiotic therapy were not statistically significant (P>0.05). All patients completed fracture union within 3 months after surgery. All patients returned to normal lower limb function 6 months after surgery. At 12 months, follow-up showed no recurrence of infection or pain at the fracture site in all patients. Conclusion: Modified iliac bone graft combined with antibiotic bone cement is an effective method for the treatment of lower limb bone infection complicated with large segment bone defect, which has significant therapeutic effect and low complication rate. Large-scale experiments are needed to further evaluate whether this method is recommended.
