Localised Fusobacterium necrophorum infections: a prospective laboratory-based Danish study.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
During a 3-year prospective laboratory-based study in Denmark from 1998 to 2001, all patients who were diagnosed with localised Fusobacterium necrophorum infections were registered with the purpose of describing the variety of localised infections caused by F. necrophorum, especially in the head. We found 267 patients, most of them previously healthy, with localised F. necrophorum infections in the head and neck. In children, F. necrophorum caused otitis media and solitary abscess formation in cervical lymphadenitis. In adolescents, F. necrophorum was found in 21% of peritonsillar abscesses. We also found F. necrophorum in young adults with tonsillitis and in middle-aged adults with sinusitis. F. necrophorum was found in substantial amounts and as the only bacterial pathogen in the majority of patients. All 267 patients recovered without sequelae. We found another 21 localised non-head-and-neck-associated F. necrophorum infections, mainly subcutaneous wound infections in adults. This study shows that F. necrophorum causes a variety of localised infections, especially in the head and neck region, with a characteristic age distribution. We recommend that anaerobic culture is performed on swabs from children with recurrent otitis media and adolescents with non-streptococcal group A tonsillitis.
