Neonatal Deep Palmar Space Infection: An Unusual Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Deep palmar space infection is a rare but potentially serious condition in neonates that requires prompt diagnosis and management. We present the case of a neonate who developed a deep palmar space infection on day two of life. The neonate presented with swelling, erythema, tenderness, and limited movement of the affected hand. The diagnosis was confirmed with imaging using ultrasound, which revealed evidence of fluid collection suggestive of an abscess. Surgical drainage of the abscess and appropriate antibiotic therapy resulted in a successful outcome with complete resolution of symptoms and recovery of hand function. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, appropriate diagnostic workup, and prompt surgical intervention for deep palmar space infection in neonates to prevent complications and achieve favourable outcomes. Additionally, infection prevention measures such as maintaining strict aseptic techniques during invasive procedures in neonates should be emphasised to prevent similar infections in the future.
