Late-Onset Spinal Implant Infection Due to Streptococcus Salivarius Probably Triggered by A Blood Splash During A Dental Procedure.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 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
Introduction: Spinal implant infections (SIIs) are a rare but well-known complication of spinal surgery. Early SIIs are usually caused by Case description: Here, we present a rare case of a late-onset SII in a 24-year-old dentist, caused by oral streptococcal flora Discussion: The conjunctival mucosa is a well-established route of entry for blood-borne pathogens, particularly viral organisms, in health-care settings. Conclusion: This treatment strategy resulted in significant improvement of his symptoms and general condition. LEARNING POINTS: In culture-negative or late-onset implant infection, a deliberate occupational and bloodborne-exposure history can reveal a source that cultures do not.Prior antimicrobial exposure markedly lowers culture yield and withholding antibiotics before intra-operative, or aspiration sampling can be decisive.Eye protection is essential for dental and other healthcare workers, as the conjunctiva is a viable portal for bacterial as well as viral transmission.
