Modular megaprostheses yield high any-type failure rate but acceptable infection control rate in patients with chronic hip and knee periprosthetic joint infection and severe bone loss: a single-center experience.

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
Chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) complicated by severe bone loss are challenging cases that require complex and specialized treatment approaches. Megaprosthetic replacement has gained in popularity in the setting of chronic hip and knee PJI; however, only a limited number of studies reporting on its utility are available. Thus, we aimed to review our cohort of patients with this specific condition who received modular megaprosthesis (MMP) as a limb salvage option in order to assess the failure rates, infection control, and implant longevity. We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of 61 patients who received MMPs for chronic hip and knee PJI between 2012 and 2024. The mean follow-up was
