Surgery's role in contemporary osteoarticular infection management.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
The treatment paradigm for osteoarticular infections (OAIs) has changed drastically over the past 80 years, from the advent of penicillin to the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Before these drugs, surgery was the only available treatment for OAIs; today, antibiotic therapy is considered the primary response to them. As a result, surgical treatment of OAIs is thus far more rarely indicated, sometimes even considered outdated and obsolete. However, long experience has taught us that many OAI contexts can still benefit from surgical management, constituting an essential complement to medical treatment. The present article seeks to contextualize this discussion by providing a chronological review of the surgical treatments used in cases of OAI and describing the quality of evidence supporting their rehabilitation in well-established situations.
