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

IB is an 80-year-old man who presented to our emergency department with acute pain, swelling, and fluctuance of his right knee. Investigations revealed neutrophilia, and acute renal impairment. He was admitted under the orthopaedic team and underwent knee aspiration. Synovial fluid culture yielded Haemophilus Influenzae Type F, a rare cause of septic arthritis. He underwent arthroscopic knee washout and debridement three times during his admission and was commenced on intravenous antibiotics. This case report discusses his clinical course, and the management of Haemophilus influenzae septic arthritis.
