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

Pyomyositis is considered a great mimicker and masquerader. This case is of a 63-year-old man with diabetes who initially presented to the outpatient clinic afebrile with right shoulder pain. His work-up was negative, and he was discharged home. He subsequently presented to the emergency room (ER) two times for worsening right shoulder pain. During his first visit to the ER, his work-up was unremarkable, and he was discharged home. On his return to the ER, he was now febrile with inflammation involving his right upper extremity and right chest wall. Imaging studies of his right upper extremity and his right chest wall were consistent with multiple abscesses. Methicillin resistant
