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

We present the case of a child with neuritis ossificans after acute trauma, treated conservatively. The aim of the review is to compare several parameters in this disease. Emphasis is placed on the clinical-radiological features distinguishing neuritis ossificans from malignancy to avoid unnecessary biopsy and surgery.A literature review was performed. Only 18 cases were described. Except for one, all describe adults, and none had acute trauma. Nearly all were treated surgically.Our 13-year-old patient presented with posterior knee pain after trauma. MRI demonstrated a mass within the tibial nerve with oedema, some lymph nodes and increased avidity on
