Short- and Mid-Term Survival of Geriatric Patients with Septic Arthritis of the Knee and the Impact of Risk Factors on Survival.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Septic arthritis is common in older adults and can be related to joint surgery or hematogenous distribution. To date, the risk factors affecting survival are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of existing implants, positive synovial microbiological culture results, and the American Society of Anesthesiology Physical Status (ASA) classification on the short- and mid-term survival of older patients with primary septic gonarthritis. This retrospective study included 133 older adults >60 years who underwent surgery for primary septic gonarthritis. Data were collected from medical records and public obituaries. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate the probability of survival, as well as log-rank tests to measure and compare survival rates over one- and five-year periods. The mean age was 74.9 years (SD ± 9.2), and the 5-year follow-up rate was 74.3% (the mean follow-up was 3000.5 days; SD ± 1771.6). Mean survival was significantly different in patients with implants and without implants (
