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

We report a case of a 13-year-old immunocompetent male with multifocal tubercular osteomyelitis involving several spinal segments, small bones of the hands, and the scalp, who started with progressively back pain and enlarging painful swelling on the palms of hands, fatigue, and irregular fever. All the hand lesions were firm, mildly tender, and covered by ulcerated skin with serous discharge from the site. Magnetic resonance showed lesions of the right fifth metacarpal, of the right intermediate phalanx of the fourth finger, of the left second metacarpal, and of most vertebral bodies of the cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and sacral spine. The nucleic acid amplification test and the final culture from the drainage of the hands' lesion were positive for
