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

The study was carried out to determine the concentrations of cefodizime (single 2-g intravenous [i.v.] dose) and ceftriaxone (single 2-g i.v. dose) in the sera and bones of 42 patients (18 women and 24 men) undergoing hip arthroplasty. The concentrations of cefodizime and ceftriaxone in cancellous and cortical bone appear to be related to the free levels in serum but not to the total levels in serum, so the concentrations of cephalosporins in bone must be compared with the free concentrations in serum. Both drugs diffuse well into bone, with concentrations exceeding the MIC at which 90% of the major pathogenic infecting organisms are inhibited.
