Managing septic arthritis after knee ligament reconstruction.
Review in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
purposeJoint infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is uncommon but has potentially serious consequences for the graft and articular cartilage. Most recently published series are in agreement that an urgent arthroscopic washout and antibiotic treatment are mandatory to preserve both graft and cartilage. However, several questions have not as yet been touched upon.
methodsWe performed a literature review to assess the most interesting series published about this issue.
resultsIn this review, a management protocol is first presented that discusses the different diagnostic parameters to consider and surgical and antibiotic treatment suggested according to the literature. Outcomes published in different series are also discussed.
