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

Primary sternal osteomyelitis (PSO) is a rare condition defined as an infection of the sternal bone marrow with no contiguous source of infection. The overlap in symptoms of PSO with other cutaneous and malignant pathologies often leads to misdiagnosis and delay of appropriate care. In this case report, we outline the presentation of PSO in a 30 year-old male patient who was newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy alone, without need for surgical intervention. Interestingly, the patient's workup returned with negative microbial cultures. To our knowledge, this patient represents the first reported case of a spontaneously presenting, culture-negative PSO.
