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

Background and purpose: Pyogenic spondylitis (PS) is clinically challenging and induces disastrous consequences for patients. The pathogenesis of PS is difficult to explore due to a lack of ideal animal models. Thus, we aimed to reproduce the local pathogenesis of PS in an innovative animal model induced by Methods: Rats were injected with planktonic Results: Our results revealed that infected rats experienced rapid weight loss, high fever, and significantly increased white blood cell count, interleukin 1β, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the short term. Radiographic examination revealed bone damage in groups that received 2 × 10 Conclusions: This study provides an innovative PS animal model that simulates a local iatrogenic vertebral infection and develops innovative and effective strategies for its treatment, but does not simulate the hematogenous dissemination characteristics of most clinical cases of pyogenic spondylitis.
