Retrospective Analysis of Septic Arthritis Caused by Intra-Articular Viscosupplementation and Steroid Injections in a Single Outpatient Center.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundSeptic arthritis is defined by the presence of pathogen(s) in a joint by direct inoculation or hematogenous spread. Most common organisms include
methodsRetrospective analysis of charts of ten patients who were admitted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center with diagnosis of iatrogenic septic arthritis.
resultsAverage age of patients is 69.9 years. Most common comorbidities seen in our patient were hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The most common intra-articular agents that were injected were cortisone and Synvisc. The mean incubation period was 11.9 days. Most common presenting symptoms were joint pain and swelling. The most common organism isolated in cultures was
conclusionsIatrogenic septic arthritis is not common; however its complications can be catastrophic to patients. Improper sterile techniques and untrained physicians are the main risks factors for this complication. Physicians should take proper sterile measures to avoid complications of intra-articular injections.
