Hematoma as a cause of a febrile and inflammatory response after tibial fractures.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 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
After incurring bilateral tibial fractures and developing sizable hematomas at the trauma sites, a child experienced 4 days of fever with an elevated C-reactive protein level and sedimentation rate. As thrombotic and infectious etiologies were ruled out, the patient's febrile and inflammatory response was likely attributable to hematoma formation. Hematomas are a recognized cause of noninfectious fever. Local release of pyrogenic cytokines within the hematoma may be the source for elevation in temperature and inflammatory markers.
