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

Skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) is a complex and fatal clinical entity caused by infections in the structures surrounding the skull base. It is mainly seen in immune compromised individuals. We report one such rare case of an atypical skull base osteomyelitis in a young, immune-competent female child of 12 years of age, who presented in the ER with misleading symptoms of stroke and was diagnosed incidentally to have SBO on imaging. Adding to the uniqueness of the case is the causative organism, which was identified as Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, an unusual cause of SBO.
