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

Child maltreatment refers to the abuse and neglect of children under the age of 18 and is a prevalent social problem that often goes undetected. To emphasize the importance of this diagnosis, we present the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented in shock with altered consciousness, initially managed as sepsis, but was ultimately diagnosed with severe physical abuse after imaging revealed a traumatic hemoperitoneum. With this article, we aim to remind healthcare providers to consider this diagnosis, even in severely ill children.
