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

backgroundNeonatal pyogenic tenosynovitis is a highly emergent soft tissue infection. We report a case of a neonate with pyogenic tendinopathy and tendon rupture diagnosed by ultrasonography (US). He subsequently developed pyogenic arthritis and osteomyelitis during antimicrobial therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 7-day-old boy was admitted to our hospital with redness and swelling of the right index finger. US on admission showed rupture of the flexor tendon of the right index finger with inactivity. The day after admission, he developed pyogenic arthritis of the right elbow and, subsequently, pyogenic osteomyelitis. Staphylococcus aureus was identified through bacterial culture, and the patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks. However, after discharge from our hospital, rupture of the flexor tendon of the left thumb was confirmed. A two-stage flexor tendinoplasty was completed at the age of 2 years and 1 month for the flexor tendon rupture on his right index finger.

conclusionsIn addition to blood culture, ultrasonographic evaluation should be performed in neonates with erythematous and swollen joints to identify the focus of infection as soon as possible. Moreover, repeated regular US examination is important in the follow-up of bone and soft tissue infections.
