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

An umbilical granuloma (UG) is one of the most common umbilical anomalies seen in infants, mostly due to delayed cord separation. It is usually treated with silver nitrate; however, topical application of silver nitrate can cause chemical burns, creating concern among parents. We present a similar case in a two-month-old baby boy with a giant UG, which was treated with topical silver nitrate application, producing significant chemical burns around the umbilicus and on the anterior abdominal wall. The patient was treated conservatively with a good outcome.
