Monkeypox Presenting as Periorbital Cellulitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Monkeypox, a viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus is well known for its characteristic rash with macular, papular, and vesicular stages. Although the skin is one of the most affected organs by monkeypox, the virus can also impact the respiratory, ophthalmologic, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems, among others. It is extremely common for the disease to begin with flu-like symptoms in the prodromal phase before cutaneous manifestations emerge. Here, we describe a unique case of monkeypox infection in which a patient first presented with periorbital cellulitis before any characteristic skin findings appeared. The source of the infection was unknown and the patient recovered without any complications to date. This odd presentation of monkeypox reiterates the need for a detailed evaluation of patients with a similar presentation.
