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

Infections after arthroscopic procedures are rare. Infection due to fungal organisms is rarer and difficult to diagnose due to its insidious nature and chronic presentation but when neglected has devastating consequences. We present a 23-year-old immunocompetent adult post-arthroscopic meniscal repair with fungal surgical site infection. The patient underwent open debridement and was started on antifungals. His surgical wound healed and with physiotherapy he regained his full range of movement.
