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

Cellulitis in children usually develops on the extremities or face following minor trauma or skin barrier disruption, and involvement of the trunk is uncommon. We report a one-year-old previously healthy boy who presented with fever and a rapidly enlarging anterior chest wall mass. Laboratory tests revealed elevated inflammatory markers without evidence of immunological abnormality. Ultrasonography showed a 12-mm swelling beneath the lower sternum with increased blood flow but no abscess. Cellulitis was diagnosed, and intravenous cefazolin was initiated. Blood culture obtained on admission grew methicillin-susceptible
