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

Septic arthritis is one of the most aggressive joint diseases. Although caused predominantly by S. aureus, Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa among them, account for a significant percentage of the causal agents of septic arthritis. However, septic arthritis caused by P. aeruginosa has not been studied thus far, due to lack of an animal model. NMRI mice were inoculated with different doses of P. aeruginosa. The clinical course of septic arthritis and radiological changes of joints were examined. Furthermore, the host molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in P. aeruginosa-induced septic arthritis were investigated. Inoculation of mice with P. aeruginosa caused septic arthritis in a dose-dependent manner. Neutrophil depletion led to higher mortality and more severe joint destruction (p < 0.01). In contrast, monocyte depletion resulted in higher mortality (p < 0.05) but similar arthritis severity compared to controls. Mice depleted of CD4+ T-cells inoculated with P. aeruginosa displayed less severe bone damage (p < 0.05). For the first time, a mouse model for P. aeruginosa septic arthritis is presented. Our data demonstrate that neutrophils play a protective role in P. aeruginosa septic arthritis. Monocytes/macrophages, on the other hand, are only essential in preventing P. aeruginosa-induced mortality. Finally, CD4+ T-cells are pathogenic in P. aeruginosa septic arthritis.
