Acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in children : A referral hospital-based study in Iran.

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
Information concerning the epidemiology of acute osteomyelitis (OM), septic arthritis (SA) and concurrent OM and SA in children is limited. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of OM, SA and concurrent OM and SA in children. During the 4 years of the study, 63,999 patients were admitted to the Children's Hospital, Tehran, Iran. We identified 111 patients with OM and/or SA during the 4‑year period. There were 72 cases of OM (11 cases per 10,000 children) and 90 cases of SA (11 cases per 10,000 children). Concurrent OM and SA accounted for 0.17% of all cases (n = 51). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C‑reactive protein were elevated in the majority of both infections. Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequent pathogen responsible for both OM and SA in any age group. The lower limb was the most frequently affected (femur: 33/72, 46%; tibia or fibula: 22/72, 31%; foot: 5/72, 7%). The most frequent involved joints were hips (n = 31, 34%) and knees (n = 31, 34%). The present study showed high frequency of patients with concurrent SA and OM. Therefore, prompt recognition and proper diagnosis of pediatric OM and SA is highly recommended.
