A Rare Pediatric Case of Chronic Toe Osteomyelitis Due to Contiguous Spread.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Osteomyelitis is a relatively rare infection in children that can develop in the context of foot nail injuries. Contiguous osteomyelitis may develop from trauma, inoculation during surgical procedures, or from neighboring infected tissue. We present a rare case of a patient with contiguous osteomyelitis following surgical nail removal due to persistent onychomycosis. Considering the severity of the infection, a phalanx amputation was performed. Chronic osteomyelitis, which can result from the contiguous spread of infection following an injury, may lead to serious complications. Each type of osteomyelitis requires different treatment strategies, either medical or surgical. Prompt diagnosis is crucial for both prognosis and successful treatment. The latter mandates interdisciplinary interventions combining patient assessment, antibiotics, and surgery.
