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

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to certain regions of the Americas. In some cases, the organism may infect the musculoskeletal system, resulting in a prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Due to its difficulty in diagnosis, treatment of coccidioidomycosis in PJI is often delayed. Furthermore, with limited number of case reports, a standard of care in treatment has yet to be established. We present 2 cases of coccidioidomycosis PJI, the extensive evaluation that led to the diagnosis, and the treatment provided. This report highlights the natural progression of coccidioidomycosis in a prosthetic joint, the diagnostic features including histology, advanced imaging, and final treatment administered.
