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

Introduction: Amongst bone and joints infections, native joints septic arthritis is uncommon, and involvement of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is rare. Case presentation: A 48-year-old lady presented with pain and swelling of the right upper chest accompanied by fever for 10 days. Upon initial assessment, she was febrile with a large area of tender swelling overlying the right sternoclavicular joint (SCJ). Radiological evaluation with a CT scan revealed features of SCJ septic arthritis with local complications of abscess formation with surrounding myositis. Urgent abscess drainage and washout of the SCJ was necessary to control local complications, however anaerobic cultures of the fluid were negative after 14 days of incubation. Anaerobic blood cultures grew sensitive Conclusion: SCJ septic arthritis is rare and infection secondary to
