Chronic Osteomyelitis of the Cranial Vault in an Adolescent Female: A Case Report.
Article in NMC case report journal, 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
We report an 18-year-old female patient who developed left temporal headache and fever one month after administration of isotretinoin for acne. Imaging studies demonstrated osteolytic change in the left frontal bone, and the lesion showed gadolinium contrast enhancement. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of osteomyelitis, and the symptoms improved after 8 months of medication with antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, the pain recurred when isotretinoin was resumed. Isotretinoin sometimes causes excessive inflammation, which may have been the reason for the osteomyelitis in this case. Although osteomyelitis is usually caused by bacterial infection, a non-bacterial mechanism should also be suspected if the condition is resistant to antibiotics.
