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

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin infection caused by a poxvirus that is highly contagious and common among children. When MC does occur in children less than one year old, it is suspected to be a result of vertical transmission through maternal MC infection. In this report, we describe a case of MC on the scalp of a 10-month-old child that started shortly after birth via Cesarean delivery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MC in a neonate born via Cesarean delivery without evidence of maternal vertical transmission.
