Management of septic arthritis in adults with a hot swollen joint: British Society for Rheumatology guideline scope.
Review in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The last British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) guideline on the hot swollen joint (HSJ) was published in 2006. The guideline needs to be updated to provide a summary of the current evidence for investigating and managing a HSJ, with a particular focus on septic arthritis. This guideline is aimed at healthcare professionals in the UK who directly care for people presenting with an HSJ, including front-line clinicians (in general practice and the emergency department), rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, infectious diseases physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, hand therapists, pharmacists, other health professionals and people experiencing an HSJ. It will also be relevant to people with lived experience of the condition as well as organizations that support them in the public and private sectors, including charities and informal patient support groups. This guideline will be developed using the methods and processes outlined in the BSR Guideline Protocol. Here we provide a brief summary of the scope of the guideline update in development.
