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

objectivesThe incidence of spinal eosinophilic granuloma in children is low.

methodsClinical case presentation of two children (♀ 18 months old, ♂ 16 months old) complaining of acute torticollis. Follow-up period was 11 years in the female patient and 13 years in the male patient.

resultsThe diagnostics certified a spinal eosinophilic granuloma: the girl had a multilevel spinal disease including the atlas, the boy a thoracic and pulmonary manifestation. Both were treated with chemotherapy with good clinical results.

conclusionsOverall, the above described is a very rare clinical entity. However, persisting torticollis in children should be clearly diagnosed.
