Microbiologic Diagnosis of Pyogenic Spondylitis.
Review in Infection & chemotherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Pyogenic spondylitis requires long-term antibiotics treatment and identification of the etiologic microorganism is essential. The first test in the microbiologic diagnosis of pyogenic spondylitis is a blood culture. Any microorganisms that grow in blood culture are highly likely to be the etiological microorganisms of pyogenic spondylitis. If the microbial etiology cannot be defined by the blood culture, a needle biopsy is performed on the inflamed tissues. Here, it is recommended that paraspinal tissues, rather than spinal tissues, are collected to increase the positive rate in tissue culture. If the microbial etiology cannot be defined by the first needle biopsy, another needle biopsy may be performed. The collected tissue sample is used in culture tests on bacteria and mycobacteria as well as pathological tests. If tuberculous spondylitis is suspected, polymerase chain reaction is carried out to detect
