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
Introduction: The first mention of Candida vishwanathii dates back to 1959, when it was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a fatal case of meningitis in India. Since its first appearance, information on synovitis of knee by C. vishwanathii, an opportunistic pathogen with low pathogenicity, is only available from one case report in the world. Case Report: A 75-year-old male presented to us with right knee pain of 3 months duration. Examination revealed synovial thickening without a local rise in temperature. Inflammatory markers were not raised. Radiographs suggested osteoarthritis (OA) with periarticular geodes. Initially planned for total knee replacement, intraoperative findings of grossly inflamed synovium prompted deference and complete synovectomy. A 54-year-old male presented similarly with right knee pain and swelling, within 1 month of the first case. Radiologic assessment revealed a medial femoral chondral defect. He was planned for two stage procedure of biopsy with subsequent chondroplasty. In both cases, microbiological testing reported C. viswanathii with the exact same sensitivity patterns. Both were started on oral fluconazole for 6-8 weeks with complete resolution of symptoms at a 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: This is only the second case report on C. vishwanathii and describes the indolent pattern of presentation and review of surgical management of subacute septic arthritis.
