Calcaneal Osteomyelitis Treated with Antibiotic Mixed Calcium Sulphate Pellets. A Case Report.

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
Background: Calcaneal osteomyelitis is a complicated entity and much more challenging to treat. We present a case of calcaneal osteomyelitis treated with debridement, curettage and filling bone defect with antibiotic mixed calcium sulphate pellets. Case Report: A female patient presented with pain, swelling and purulent discharge from the left heel. Culture studies and magnetic resonance imaging findings were suggestive of osteomyelitis of the calcaneum. The patient was planned for definitive treatment, and remission was achieved with systemic antibiotics, debridement, curettage, and filling dead space with antibiotic mixed calcium sulphate pellets. Conclusion: Calcaneal osteomyelitis is very resistant to treatment and results in poor functional outcome. Management of calcaneal osteomyelitis with single-stage strategy using antibiotic mixed calcium sulphate effectively eradicates the disease to attain overall good functional outcome for the patient.
