A Pain in the Hip: Sexually Transmitted Septic Arthritis Diagnosed With Bedside Ultrasound in the Emergency Department.
Article in Cureus, 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
Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is a recognized but uncommon complication of a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Some physicians and advanced practice providers may have a misunderstanding of the onset of DGI and think of it as a later manifestation of a gonococcal infection similar to syphilis, another common sexually transmitted infection. This is a case report of a patient tested for STIs 16 days prior to his presentation with negative results. However, he presented to the emergency department again with right hip pain one day after being seen for a urinary tract infection. Despite the short amount of time between negative test results and repeat emergency department visits, keeping a broad differential diagnosis allowed for the correct diagnosis to be made. This case report provides a better understanding of the onset of gonococcal septic arthritis, discusses the proper workup, differences in treatment compared to some other causes of septic arthritis, and the likely prognosis of gonococcal septic arthritis.
