INFECTION PROFILE IN HIP ARTHROPLASTY AT A REFERRAL HOSPITAL.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: To analyze the occurrence of infections in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty at a tertiary hospital in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, between 2020 and 2023. Methods: A retrospective, longitudinal, and observational study conducted at Hospital Getúlio Vargas, Teresina, Piauí, with patients who developed prosthesis-related infections during the study period. Results: A total of 1,420 surgeries were performed, with an infection rate of 2.0% (22 cases). Female patients predominated (59.1%) with a mean age of 68.8 years. Trauma was the main surgical indication (77.3%). Total arthroplasty was performed in 68.2% of cases, with 59.1% done without cement. The most common pathogens were Escherichia coli (22.7%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (18.2%). The main antibiotics used were ciprofloxacin (31.7%), clindamycin (25%), and vancomycin (15%). Hospital discharge occurred in 86.4% of cases, with no significant association between variables and outcomes (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of preventive protocols and surveillance to reduce infections in hip arthroplasty.
