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

backgroundTransphyseal hematogenous osteomyelitis(THO) has been considered a potential cause of severe sequelae due to its damage to the growth plate. It has been reported that growth disturbance would take place if the area of involvement exceeds 7%. However, the growth plate seems to have more potential to recover and regain normal function. CASE PRESENTATION: We report three cases of hematogenous osteomyelitis(HO) in children (ages 9 weeks, 4 years, and 13 years respectively ) with significant physeal involvement. All patients underwent surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. Follow-up assessments demonstrated full recovery, with normal knee movements, no pain and equal limb length. Complete recovery of the physeal plate morphology and normal subsequent development were observed.

conclusionsTHO in children may have the chance of complete recovery after proper treatment, suggesting that the physeal plate has a great potential for self-recovery. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
