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

A retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) in early childhood is not uncommon due to at-risk lymph nodes in this deep neck space and is typified by fever, odynophagia, and a constellation of respiratory manifestations. However, RPA is exceedingly rare in the neonatal subpopulation and not part of the usual differential diagnosis algorithm in this age range. Herein, we present a unique case of a previously healthy 5-week-old male infant with protracted "congestion" and difficulty in oral feeding, whose clinical course is confounded by intermittent, positional bradycardia and subsequent apnea. He was eventually diagnosed with a methicillin-resistant
