Invasive Pasteurella multocida Infection With Cervical Abscess and Sternoclavicular Septic Arthritis Following a Cat Scratch in a Patient With Lymphedema: A Case Report.
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
Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted through animal bites or scratches. Although most infections are localized, invasive disease may occur in vulnerable patients. An 86-year-old woman with metabolic syndrome and chronic right upper limb lymphedema developed fever and extensive inflammatory signs shortly after a superficial cat scratch. She had previously completed one course of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid and another of clindamycin without improvement. Blood cultures isolated Pasteurella multocida. Imaging revealed right upper-limb cellulitis, a cervical phlegmon, septic arthritis of the left sternoclavicular joint, a large anterior thoracic wall abscess and a posterior cervical abscess at the C4-C5 level. She received six weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone followed by six weeks of oral ciprofloxacin, with complete resolution. Minor animal-related injuries in patients with chronic lymphedema can evolve into severe invasive
