Primary Sternal Osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in an Immunocompetent Adult.
Article in Infection & chemotherapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Primary sternal osteomyelitis (PSO) is a rare condition that may develop without any contiguous focus of infection. Due to the rarity of the disease, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are often delayed. Herein, we describe a patient with PSO caused by Staphylococcus aureus that presented with chest pain and fever. The patient had no predisposing factors for sternal osteomyelitis. The chest pain was thought to be non-cardiogenic, as electrocardiography and cardiac enzyme did not reveal ischemic changes when he visited the emergency room. After blood culture revealed the presence of S. aureus, every effort was made to identify the primary focus of infection. Bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed osteomyelitis with soft tissue inflammation around the sternum. After 8 weeks of antibiotics treatment, the patient recovered without any complications.
