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

introductionGiven the current increase in the incidence of

methodsA retrospective search was conducted for synovial fluid samples that tested positive for

resultsFifteen patients were analysed. Monoarthritis was the most frequent presentation (60%), followed by polyarthritis, predominantly affecting the wrist or knee. Arthralgia or tenosynovitis at other sites, particularly the wrist, was common. Microbiological identification was performed by conventional culture (12/14) or PCR (7/7). Repeated ultrasound-guided drainage or surgical washout was required in 30% of cases. The mean duration of intravenous antibiotic therapy was 12 days, while the mean total duration of antibiotic therapy was 22 days. The clinical response was favourable in all cases.

conclusionsIn the current context of increasing gonococcal infection incidence, gonococcal arthritis should be considered in patients with septic monoarthritis or polyarthritis and concomitant tenosynovitis, particularly when the radiocarpal joint is involved. Molecular biology techniques may be useful for identifying
