1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The diagnosis of infections in patients with arthritis and/or joint prostheses requires interdisciplinary cooperation and the use of up-to-date methods. Massive bacterial infection can be identified by bacterial culture, and minimal infection can be detected by molecular pathological methods. These processes include specific enrichment of bacterial and fungal DNA, amplification, and identification of the DNA by gel electrophoresis, sequencing techniques, and chip technologies.Anamnesis (enteral or urogenital infection), the clinical picture (oligoarthritis), and further parameters (e.g., HLA B27 status) are important for the diagnosis of reactive arthritis. In many cases of reactive arthritis, molecular methods allow detection of bacterial DNA or RNA in synovial fluid or tissue. Molecular pathological methods allow the fast and reliable differential diagnosis of granulomatous synovialitis without prior cultivation of bacteria or fungi. The development of new molecular pathological methods for detecting bacterial and fungal nucleic acids will increase diagnostic accuracy.
