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

Bilateral lower limbs cellulitis is a rare clinical condition, which has been overlooked for a long time. In daily clinical practice, bilateral cellulitis is a sporadically encountered condition; however, it remains a clinical challenge. There is a broad differential diagnosis for this clinical entity, and there is a lack of accepted international diagnostic criteria. Unnecessary antibiotic prescription is common, which has led to an emerging problem. In this review, we summarize case reports of bilateral lower limbs cellulitis and common pathogens that have been documented.
