Unusual ultrasound diagnosis of hair implantation osteomyelitis of the thumb.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Osteomyelitis is a challenging condition to diagnose and successfully treat. A clinician diagnosing osteomyelitis is reliant on relevant aspects of clinical history, inflammatory markers and radiological imaging such as X-rays, CT and contrast MRI. The confirmation of the presurgical diagnosis is made from microbiological analysis of the bone biopsy and/or histological analysis for features of inflammatory changes. An ultrasound scan is generally thought to have less value in osteomyelitis diagnosis due to its inability to interrogate bone. However, this investigation can be helpful in detecting the site and size of soft tissue collections secondary to osteomyelitis and the presence of any associated foreign bodies. We present a case where an ultrasound scan played a key role in supporting the diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the thumb in a dog groomer. This is the first reported case of hair implantation osteomyelitis presenting without a cutaneous sinus.
