Staphylococcus aureus periprosthetic joint infection and its pathogenesis in total hip and knee arthroplasty: a narrative review.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), capable of biofilm formation and resistance mechanisms, complicating diagnosis and treatment. PJIs remain a leading cause of total joint arthroplasty failure and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare and economic burdens. Biofilm formation by S. aureus on prosthetic materials is central to PJI persistence and antibiotic resistance. Novel treatment strategies, including copper-coated implants, show promise as adjunct therapies but require further clinical validation.
