Brodie's Abscess of the Humeral Paddle in a Child: A case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Brodie's abscess is a form of localized sub-acute osteomyelitis that rarely occurs in the humerus. Its diagnosis stems from clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The current paper describes the first case in the literature of humeral paddle Brodie's abscess. Case Report: This report describes the first case of Brodie's abscess in the humeral paddle of a 12-year-old boy, revealed by swelling and pain in the right elbow. Radiographs and computerized tomography (CT) scans showed a well-defined cavitary surrounded by a rim of sclerosis, alongside evidence of cortical expansion and periosteal reaction. The patient was treated with debridement and curettage of the cavity combined with antibiotics. They resulted in the complete disappearance of the cavity. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient can practice daily activities with no pain, and imaging showed no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: The present case highlights the utility of CT scans in diagnosing Brodie's abscesses when an MRI is either unavailable or contraindicated. CT scans serve as a valuable alternative diagnostic modality in such cases.
