A Child With Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis of the Distal Fibula and Infective Endocarditis.

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
Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) commonly interests the pediatric population. It typically affects the metaphyses of long tubular bones. However, the fibula is rarely involved. Regarding the hematogenous inoculation, this infection may be associated with distant foci. Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old girl who was initially diagnosed with atypical AHO of the distal fibula complicated by a subperiosteal abscess. Upon admission, the child showed a severe septic condition, including embolic infective endocarditis (IE), which was responsible for multiple cerebral, renal, and splenic loci. AHO was successfully resolved with appropriate intravenous antimicrobial treatment targeting Staphylococcus aureus, surgical drainage, and debridement. Due to the complexity of the lesions and the embolic nature, the IE was also managed operatively with a mechanical prosthesis. The distal fibula is a rare and challenging location for AHO. EI co-infection should always be sought and suspected because, in such instances, it will genuinely complicate diagnostic and therapeutic management.
