Imaging of skeletal injuries associated with abusive head trauma.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Skeletal injuries are commonly encountered in infants and young children with abusive head trauma. Although certain patterns of intracranial injury suggest abuse, none are diagnostic. Therefore demonstration of associated unsuspected skeletal injuries has important implications, particularly when highly specific fractures are present. Skull fractures are commonly associated with intracranial injury, but no fracture pattern is indicative of physical abuse. Other skeletal injuries including classic metaphyseal lesions and rib, spine and scapular fractures are strong predictors of abusive head trauma in infants with intracranial injury. It is mandatory to perform rigorous skeletal surveys in infants and young children with clinical and neuroimaging findings concerning for abusive head trauma.
