Acute septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular joint caused by Staphylococcus aureus with marked soft tissue collection towards posterior medial aspect of the AC joint: A rare clinical presentation.

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
Primary septic arthritis of the Acromioclavicular joint is an unusual disorder and is seldom seen even in an immunocompromised person. We report a case of primary septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular (A-C) joint caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The patient was admitted with pain in the left shoulder, restricted movements and fever. Laboratory parameters showed elevated C-reactive protein, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and leukocytosis. Ultrasound revealed a 32 mm collection at the acromioclavicular joint. Patient underwent incision and drainage of abscess. Culture and sensitivity revealed moderate growth of Staphylococcus-aureus. Patient was started on appropriate intravenous antibiotics. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done after 2 weeks revealed marked erosion in the lateral end of clavicle with soft tissue collection along the posteromedial aspect A-C joint. The patient had to undergo repeat drainage of the abscess along with the decompression of lateral end of clavicle. The patient was successfully treated with 8 weeks of appropriate antibiotics with complete resolution of infection.
