The Surgical Treatment of Deep Infection in the Native Shoulder Joint.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe overall clinical picture surrounding native shoulder infections, and, in particular, the associated long-term functional outcomes of treatment are presently underreported. The purpose of this study is to examine the demographics, diagnostic and treatment strategies, and functional outcomes of isolated shoulder joint sepsis treated with surgical irrigation and debridement (I&D).
methodsAll patients treated with I&D for native shoulder sepsis between 2007 - 2017 were identified. Those without a minimum of one-year follow-up were excluded. Functional outcomes scores, reoperations, and predictors of poor outcome were evaluated.
resultsTwenty-three patients were included in the final study population. Mean age-adjusted CCI score was 4.1 (SD = 3.4, Range = 0 - 10). Twelve patients (52.2%) were treated with open I&D, while 11 patients (47.8%) were treated arthroscopically. Nine patients (39.1%) required multiple I&Ds (mean total number of I&Ds = 1.7, SD = 1.0, Range: 1 - 4). Five patients (21.7%) had at least one documented reinfection after their initial hospitalization, with the initial recurrence of infection occurring 2 - 15 months after the index procedure. Mean ASES score at final follow-up was 55.3 (SD = 26.7, Range: 5.8 - 98.3) and mean SANE score was 53.3 (SD = 30.6, Range: 0 - 100). Stepwise multiple linear regression modeling identified intravenous drug abuse as the most significant predictor for final ASES score [F(1,18) = 6.12, p = .024, adjusted R
conclusionFollowing isolated shoulder joint sepsis, infection clearance and acceptable functional outcomes can be achieved using surgical I&D followed by a course of antibiotics, but outcomes are variable.
