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

caseWe present a case of a 70-year-old woman with simultaneous periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of both hips and left knee due to a bilateral psoas abscess. The patient underwent debridement and implants removal with the consequent reimplantation in a sequential six-stage revision surgery. At four years of follow-up and in spite of the patient's comorbidities and current PJI presentation, she maintains full activities of daily living without restrictions.

conclusionAccurate and early diagnosis of a psoas abscess is crucial. This case report provides experience of a complex scenario, the decision-making involved and the outcomes of an underdiagnosed complication.
