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

Aim: To estimate hospitalization rates, describe clinical characteristics, and assess the direct healthcare costs of cellulitis-related hospitalizations in children of different ages: 0-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-14 years. Materials and methods: This retrospective, population-based study included patients aged 14 years or less and hospitalized for cellulitis in Spain between 2016 and 2022. Data were obtained from the Spanish Registry of Specialist Care Activities provided by the Ministry of Health. Results: A total of 15,497 cellulitis-related hospitalizations were included: 7,378 (47.6%) aged 0-4 years, 4,532 (29.2%) aged 5-9 years, and 3,587 (23.1%) aged 10-14 years. The proportion of boys (56.6%) was higher than for girls and increased with age ( Conclusions: The clinical profile of cellulitis varies by age group. While ICU admission and in-hospital mortality were rare, the economic burden remains substantial, particularly among younger children.
