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

unlabelledA 52-year-old woman with Crohn's disease presented with septic arthrtis of the knee. This condition coincided with a symptomatic flare of her Crohn's disease due to an ileal inflammatory stenosis, manifested as a phlegmonous mass palpable in the right lower quadrant and a small bowel obstruction. Results of synovial fluid cultures showed the presence of Gram-negative bacillus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and the CT scan images were highly suggestive of abdominal abscess within Crohn's disease. The patient's condition improved after following an antibiotic treatment and after the initiation of Anti-TNF-alpha agent Adalimumab, with no further exacerbation. Septic arthritis in Crohn's disease should be considered to have a communicating source of sepsis consisting of an abdominal abscess or fistula. ABBREVIATIONS: Anti-TNF-alpha agent = anti tumor necrosis factor alpha agent, 5-ASA = 5-aminosalicylic acid.
