The Kocher-Caird Criteria for Pediatric Septic Arthritis of the Hip: Time for a Change in the
Review in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pediatric septic arthritis of the hip (SAH) in children is a severe pathology, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to avoid destructive sequelae of the joint. Its diagnosis can be challenging, however, due to its spectrum of manifestations and differential diagnosis. Last century, multiple research teams studied the curves of systemic inflammation markers to aid the differential diagnosis. Kocher showed that a history of fever >38.5 °C, non-weight bearing, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate >40 mm/h, and serum white blood cells >12,000/mm
