One-Stage Revision for Low-Grade Periprosthetic Infection with Staphylococcus hominis Following Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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: Low-grade periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are diagnostically challenging and often present with subtle clinical and laboratory findings. The optimal surgical strategy - one-stage or two-stage revision - remains controversial. Case Report: We report a 74-year-old male with a low-grade PJI due to Staphylococcus hominis 6 months after cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. Despite normal inflammatory markers, negative aspirate culture, and inconclusive imaging, tissue cultures confirmed infection. The patient underwent a one-stage revision with a favorable outcome. The immediate post-operative management was complicated by deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, prompting consideration of the risks inherent in revision surgery. Conclusion: One-stage revision may be a viable option for selected patients with low-grade PJI, offering comparable infection control, improved functional outcomes, and lesser complications compared with two-stage revision.
