Cat Scratch Disease: 9 Years of Experience at a Pediatric Center.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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: A more complete understanding of the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical features of cat scratch disease (CSD) in children could help guide patient care. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of children presenting to a tertiary pediatric hospital system in Atlanta, Georgia between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018 who had serology, polymerase chain reaction, and/or cytopathological results consistent with a Results: We identified 304 children with CSD over 9 years with the largest proportion of diagnoses made during August (41 of 304, 13.5%) and September (47 of 304, 15.5%). The median age of child cases was 8.1 years (interquartile range [IQR], 5.4-12.1); 156 (51.3%) were female; 242 of 262 (92.4%) reported feline exposure; and 55 of 250 (22%) reported canine exposure of those with exposure histories documented in the medical record. Although lymphadenopathy was present on physical examination in the majority of cases (78.8%), atypical presentations lacking lymphadenopathy were also common (63 of 304, 20.7%). Among children with radiographic imaging, 20 of 55 (36.4%) had splenomegaly and 21 of 55 (38.1%) had splenic and/or hepatic microabscesses. Among veterinary data, Conclusions: Distinguishing clinical features of CSD included subacute regional lymphadenopathy in school-aged children in the late summer, almost all of whom had cat exposure. Atypical clinical manifestations of CSD were also commonly identified.
