Clinical practice variation in orthopedic infections: insights from the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) survey, 2023.

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
In 2023, members of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) participated in a survey assessing their approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and management of orthopedic infections. The survey revealed notable differences between the two societies in several key areas, including requirements for smoking cessation prior to elective surgery, use of pre-operative skin and nasal antiseptics, application of local antibiotics in non-infected cases, preferred definitions of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), use of alpha-defensin testing in pre-operative diagnosis, application of sonication of explanted implants, number of tissue samples obtained for microbiological and histological analysis, use of sequence-based diagnostics, and duration of antibiotic therapy. These findings demonstrate substantial variability in clinical practice among international experts in the field, highlighting the need for further research and consensus to harmonize strategies in orthopedic infection care.
