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

Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is a common disease that affects previously healthy children of all age groups. Despite its importance, there are limited data in the current literature to guide many aspects of the diagnosis and therapy of this infection. Over the last decade, our understanding of the etiology of this infection has changed, with increased recognition of Kingella kingae and the dramatic increase in community-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections. There is a need for the optimization of diagnostic strategies, such as MRI and serum inflammatory markers. Several recent studies have examined treatment strategies, including a rapid transition to oral antimicrobial therapy and a shortened overall course of therapy. Many new therapeutic options are on the horizon that will likely impact the management of this and other childhood bacterial infections. This review summarizes recent investigations into the optimal diagnosis and management of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children.
