A fungating spica.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common paediatric orthopaedic problem. There are various options for treatment dependent on the age and presentation. In closed and open reduction of DDH, we use a hip spica cast for immobilisation after the procedure. We present an unusual case of fungal growth on a hip spica. A 7-month-old girl presented to our institution with clusters of yellowish-white outgrowths resembling mushrooms from her spica. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of fungal growth on a hip spica following DDH treatment. It is of utmost importance to be aware of any growth on a hip spica, as this requires a prompt change of spica to avoid further complications. We recommend that the integrity of the spica and the skin be checked at regular intervals in patients with a hip spica.
