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

BACKGROUND All medical practitioners must be vigilant for child abuse and neglect (CAN) so that opportunities to intervene, prevent, and improve outcomes are not missed. However, child abuse is often overlooked in practice, and no sign or pattern of presentation of fractures is absolutely specific for child abuse. CASE REPORT Here, we present the case of a 22-month-old girl with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type 2 who presented with "red flag" fractures indicative of child abuse. Biochemistry showed vitamin D deficiency and a skeletal survey revealed rickets and multiple pathological fractures. However, her age, number of differently-aged fractures and their circumstances, and differential diagnosis of CAN prompted adherence to joint Royal College of Radiologists and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health guidelines for non-accidental injury. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights some important considerations in management of suspected CAN in the context of the pathophysiology of a rare hereditary disorder that can result in pathological fractures.
