Pharmacokinetics of Cefuroxime in Synovial Fluid.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cefuroxime is frequently used as preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and may be used for the treatment of septic arthritis. A prerequisite for successful treatment of septic arthritis is the ability of an antibiotic agent to penetrate into the target site. Therefore, the concentration of cefuroxime in synovial fluid was evaluated. Ten patients who underwent elective knee arthroscopy were included in this study. Patients were treated with a single dose of 1,500 mg cefuroxime intravenously, and subsequently, the concentrations in plasma, the interstitial fluid of muscle tissue, and synovial fluid were measured by using microdialysis. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic calculations to predict bacterial killing were performed using the epidemiologically defined MIC
