Multifocal osteomyelitis in a child with sickle cell disease and review of the literature regarding best diagnostic approach.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Key Clinical Message: In patients with sickle cell disease, we must be more cognizant of the possibility of multifocal osteomyelitis. Diagnosis can be challenging in this patient population as the symptoms mimic vaso-occlusive crisis. There is no gold standard in imaging. Abstract: Osteomyelitis occurs more frequently in children with sickle cell disease. Diagnosis is challenging as it mimics vaso-occlusive crises, a common manifestation of sickle cell disease. We present a case of a 22-month-old girl with sickle cell disease and multifocal osteomyelitis. We review the literature on the utility of diagnostic imaging.
