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

Skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) is a rare and lethal infection of temporal bone, uncommonly caused by purulent otitis media. Although uncommon, a young and immunocompetent person is not exceptional to develop SBO as in our case. We reported a case of SBO in a young, immunocompetent gentleman who presented with right otorrhea associated with fever, trismus, headache, and neck stiffness, which was unresponsive to oral and topical antibiotics. Examination revealed fullness at the right mastoid tip with no evidence of mastoid abscess, trismus, with restrictions of neck movements. Otoscopy of right ear showed mucopus with 10% anterosuperior tympanic membrane perforation without keratin or granulation tissue. Pus for culture and sensitivity grew
