Daily Low-Dose Intra-Articular Povidone-Iodine Salvage of Refractory Fungal Total Knee Arthroplasty Infection: A Case Report.
Article in JBJS case connector, 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
caseA 74-year-old woman developed refractory Candida parapsilosis periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty. Despite repeated debridement, implant removal, antifungal-loaded cement spacers, and prolonged systemic antifungal therapy, infection recurred and amputation was considered. Daily intra-articular low-dose povidone-iodine instillation achieved infection control without adverse events. After a 1-month drug holiday, hinged revision arthroplasty was performed. At 2 years, she ambulated independently without recurrence.
conclusionRepeated low-dose povidone-iodine instillation may be a salvage option for refractory fungal PJI.
