Albumin as a predictor of periprosthetic joint infection in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 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
backgroundNutritional assessment and diagnosis of the periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following arthroplasty are critical for effective management of patients undergoing joint replacement surgery and their subsequent health outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between postoperative nutritional status and inflammatory response in postoperative patients.
methodsAlbumin (ALB) serves as a key indicator for nutritional assessment. Peripheral blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESR), white blood cell (WBC), neutrophilic granulate percentage (NEU), D-Dimer, and ALB were measured in patients prior to surgery and for six consecutive days following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Further analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between ALB and the aforementioned inflammatory indicators.
resultsThe results demonstrated that ALB levels decreased significantly subsequent to both THA and TKA, indicating potential differences between the THA and TKA groups. Furthermore, ALB levels were closely associated with the progression of postoperative inflammation.
conclusionsSimultaneous detection of ALB and other inflammatory indicators can more accurately and sensitively reflect the inflammatory status and infection risk in patients following THA and TKA.
