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

Purpura fulminans (PF) is an ominous, rapidly progressive cutaneous manifestation of intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarctions typically mediated by coagulopathy or bacterial infection. Neonatal PF is a rarely reported but potentially disabling disorder associated with a high mortality rate and severe long-term morbidity in survivors. We report an extremely low birth weight premature infant with PF associated with late-onset Group B streptococcal sepsis. The infant survived but suffered a severe brain injury and autoamputation of all four extremities. We present this case and a review of the literature.
