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

Candida infection is common, while Candida parapsilosis infection in the knee joint is rare. Local symptoms of Candida infections in the knee are atypical, rarely associated with systemic symptoms, and difficult to distinguish from other types of knee arthritis. We here report a special case of C. parapsilosis infections in the knee joint. A patient had previously undergone knee puncture in a private clinic for the treatment of osteoarthritis and developed a left knee joint infection with C. parapsilosis. However, the patient only showed more severe local knee symptoms, and there was no systemic manifestation associated with any Candida infection. Surprisingly, after receiving ozone lavage, the patient showed symptoms of a systemic infection such as fever and chills. There was no positive finding in the blood cultures. Finally, the synovial fluid cultures showed a C. parapsilosis infections. After antifungal treatment and another knee ozone therapy, the patient did not experience recurrence of the infections. It is suggested that in this special case, the strong sterilization with ozone caused the destruction of C. parapsilosis, leading to a transient systemic toxin reaction. In addition, we reviewed the 17 cases of C. parapsilosis infections that have been reported thus far.
