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

Bone and joint infections are recognized as difficult-to-treat infections that result in significant morbidity and mortality among patients and increased healthcare costs. This article presents the recommendations for the diagnosis and management of osteomyelitis and prosthetic joint infections in adults developed by Bone and Joint Infections Committee for the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. It contains data published through to November 2007. An evidence-based scoring system that is used by the Infectious Diseases Society of America was applied to treatment recommendations.
