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

To investigate the risk factors, clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of musculoskeletal fungal infection in Thai patients, patients aged ≥18 years definitively diagnosed with musculoskeletal fungal infection by culture and/or histopathology at Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand) during 2002-2020 were retrospectively enrolled. Twenty-eight patients (median age: 58.5 years [range: 22-81], 57.1% male) with fungal osteomyelitis (n = 22), septic arthritis (n = 1), or fungal osteomyelitis with septic arthritis (n = 5) were included. Immunocompromised status was common (82%). Most patients had de novo infection from hematogenous spreading that usually presented at a single, non-contiguous site. The median symptom duration prior to diagnosis was 2 months. The tibia and knee were the most common site of osteomyelitis (30%) and septic arthritis (72%), respectively. The most common pathogens were
