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

Due to its low invasive nature, arthroscopy nowadays represents the gold standard in the treatment of native joint empyema. This article gives a summary of the literature with expert recommendations, reviews and case reports on arthroscopic treatment of native joint empyema and the limitations. Most cases of native joint empyema can be successfully cleansed with arthroscopic treatment alone including lavage and débridement. In advanced stages of infection open arthrotomy is often needed for final infection cleansing. In postoperative infections with enclosed foreign material, such as after cruciate ligament reconstruction, the foreign material can in most cases be left in and successful infection eradication can be carried out with several arthroscopic lavages and débridement. In cases of higher grade infections with destruction of the joint, arthroscopic treatment alone is normally insufficient.
