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: Methods: We describe a case of delayed-onset PJI in a 71-year-old woman following total knee arthroplasty. Repeated conventional cultures were negative after empirical vancomycin therapy. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of wound exudate detected Aim: This study aimed to describe the clinical diagnosis, microbiological identification, and genomic characterization of a Results: The isolate was identified as sequence type ST2250 and lacked the staphyloxanthin operon, consistent with the non-pigmented phenotype. WGS and phenotypic AST showed 100% concordance across 11 clinically relevant antibiotics. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that the strain clustered closely with Southeast Asian lineages. Following targeted therapy with intravenous vancomycin and surgical wound management, the patient showed rapid clinical improvement with resolution of local inflammation and complete wound healing. Conclusion: This is the first confirmed case of
