Risk Factors of Coexisting Septic Spondylitis and Arthritis: A Case-Control Study in a Tertiary Referral Hospital.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionIn patients under immunosuppression or severe sepsis, it is sometimes manifested as coexisting septic arthritis and spondylitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate and investigate the risk factors of infectious spondylitis associated with septic arthritis.
methodsThe study retrospectively reviewed the patients diagnosed with infectious spondylitis between January 2010 and September 2018 for risk factors of coexisting major joint septic arthritis.
resultsA total of 10 patients with infectious spondylitis and coexisting septic arthritis comprised the study group. Fifty matched patients with solely infectious spondylitis were selected as the control group. Major risk factors include preoperative C-reactive protein (
conclusionInfectious spondylitis and septic arthritis are thought of as medical emergencies due to their high mortality and morbidity. Our study evaluated 5 risk factors as significant major findings: hypoalbuminemia (<3.4 g/dL), higher preoperative CRP (>130 mg/L), psoas muscle abscess, longer preoperative antibiotics treatment (>8 days) and history of total joint replacement. Clinicians should pay attention to the patients with those five factors to detect the coexisting infections as early as possible.
