Polymicrobial anaerobic infection with a deep abscess in the supraspinous fossa following a subacromial corticosteroid injection.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In September 2015, a male aged 61 years with poorly controlled diabetes (his only medical problem) had left shoulder surgery that included an arthroscopic acromioplasty with debridement of suture material from a rotator cuff repair done 10 years prior. A subacromial corticosteroid injection was given 7 months later for pain and reduced motion. Three weeks later a fulminate infection was evident. Cultures grew
