Rare but Risky: Orthopedic Infections by Unconventional Gram-Positive Cocci - A Case Series.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common Gram-positive cocci causing orthopedic infections. However, infections due to unconventional Gram-positive cocci (GPC) are also occasionally reported. In such cases, the isolated microorganisms are usually a part of normal flora of human body turned into opportunistic pathogens. We have reported that three cases where the infection was due to such unconventional GPC. Case Report: Conclusion: Infections due to unconventional organisms are rarely encountered in orthopedic patients. High index of suspicion of the infection, standard protocols of culture and clinical correlation of the laboratory reports play important role in dealing with these infections. These rare organisms should not be overlooked as contaminants. Furthermore, antimicrobial stewardship is helpful for better antimicrobial utilization.
