Epidemiology of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a developing country.
Article in Sudanese journal of paediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Epidemiological data regarding paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections from developing countries of Asia and Africa are sparse and further complicated by the presence of factors like malnutrition, delay in initiating treatment and belief in alternative forms of treatment and under vaccination. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse the cases of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a tertiary care centre in India. Methods: It is a retrospective study including patients below 18 years of age who had been diagnosed with any pyogenic musculoskeletal infection. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological details were collected. Results: A total of 216 children, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 4.9 years (10 days-18 years), were included in the study. The causative organism could be isolated in 98 cases (45.3%). Conclusion: Improved methods of pathogen detection should be explored to improve the rate of positive cultures. Additional prospective studies with longer patient follow-up and the creation of care protocols are necessary to improve therapeutic decision-making and the prognosis for children with suspected musculoskeletal infection.
