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

Plantar vein thrombosis and plantar vein thrombophlebitis are not diagnoses typically made or considered in the emergency department. However, septic joints or gout are more commonly considered diagnoses. Early diagnosis of a septic joint is imperative, as there are many short-term and long-term consequences, such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, amputation, chronic arthritis, or joint replacement. Septic joint is a rare diagnosis and often only pursued with further diagnostic testing in the emergency department in patients with risk factors, such as our patient, who was on immunosuppressant medications. This case report describes the emergency department encounter of a patient with certain risk factors and physical exam findings that could be suggestive of a septic joint but was ultimately found to have a rare, yet less emergent, diagnosis.
