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

A 61-year-old woman with a right total knee arthroplasty presented with 1 week of atraumatic right knee swelling, pain, and fevers 2 weeks following a routine screening colonoscopy. Aspiration was concerning for prosthetic joint infection and she underwent definitive treatment with irrigation and debridement with polyethylene exchange followed by a 6-week course of oral metronidazole. Cultures speciated as Bacteroides fragilis with the presumed source being the colonoscopy causing transient bacteremia and subsequent seeding of the right knee. This case highlights the need for consideration of guidelines regarding prophylactic antibiotics to prevent prosthetic joint infection after endoscopic procedures.
