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

A 60-year-old diabetic patient presented with acute pain and swelling localized to the left acromioclavicular joint. Laboratory and radiological investigations revealed the presence of pus in the left acromioclavicular joint along with bony erosion of the lateral end of the left clavicle. She was treated with open arthrotomy, debridement, and appropriate antibiotics for the causative methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. Prompt diagnosis and timely intervention can reduce the morbidity and mortality due to septic arthritis. We conducted a review of the literature on patients treated for isolated septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular joint.
