Periprosthetic joint infection of the knee complicated by primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) is characterized by amyloid protein deposition in the skin, leading to pigmentation, papules, and itching. The etiology of PLCA remains unclear. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) poses challenges in management. Case presentation: A PLCA patient underwent TKA and developed acute PJI, necessitating multiple surgical interventions. Recurrence of infection symptoms prompted a two-stage revision surgery approach. Conclusion: Skin lesions in PLCA patients may potentially contribute to the risk PJI following arthroplasty. Strategies such as using tacrolimus for itching management, along with prophylactic antibiotics during PLCA flare-ups, could potentially aid in preventing and managing PJI in this patient population. Further research is needed to elucidate the relationship between PLCA and PJI post-arthroplasty.
