Cephalohematomas, an occult nidus for infection and inflammation: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Cephalohematomas (CH) are benign neonatal fluid collections that arise between the periosteum and skull due to birth trauma, and usually resolve spontaneously without intervention. CH may rarely become infected. Case Description: The authors report a case of sterile CH requiring surgical evacuation in a persistently febrile neonate treated with intravenous (IV) antibiotics for Conclusion: A systematic review of literature was conducted through a MEDLINE search using the keyword "cephalohematoma." Articles were screened for cases of infected CH and their subsequent management. Clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of the present case were reviewed and compared to those in the literature. Infected CH were reported in 25 articles describing 58 patients.
