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

purposeThis study aims to assess previously determined predictive criteria for presence of adjacent infection in septic arthritis within a Southeastern United States (US) pediatric population.

resultsThe sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the Rosenfeld criteria were: 91.7%, 22.7%, 39.3%, and 83.3%, respectively. The patients with periarticular infection were more likely to have positive blood cultures than those with isolated septic arthritis. There was no difference in likelihood of secondary surgical intervention.

conclusionsPreviously defined criteria to predict adjacent infection in pediatric septic arthritis did not demonstrate external validity in a Southeastern US pediatric population.
