Multifocal subacute osteomyelitis in adjacent bones in the ankle without septic joint.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation involving bone and/or bone marrow most often the result of bacterial infection of the bone. In children, osteomyelitis most often has an acute presentation and is caused by hematogenous spread. When osteomyelitis is seen in the extremities, conventional radiography is the first-line imaging modality preformed for diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging employed for further delineation or as a problem-solving tool. A healthy 6-year-old female presented with a history of nonspecific left leg pain for 3-5 weeks which gradually progressed to focal left ankle pain and swelling. Further workup revealed multifocal subacute osteomyelitis with Brodie's abscesses seen on imaging in the absence of a septic joint. This was an uncommon presentation for the following reasons: Patients with multifocal osteomyelitis usually present in the acute setting, as opposed to the subacute setting. When osteomyelitis is multifocal or Brodie's abscesses are present adjacent to the joint capsule, concomitant septic joint is commonly seen.
