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

Varicella (chickenpox) caused by varicella zoster virus is usually diagnosed clinically based on the typical presentation of fever and vesicular rash in immunocompetent children. However, atypical sites of the rash or non-cutaneous suppurative complications can cause a diagnostic dilemma. We report a tubo-ovarian abscess as an initial presentation of chickenpox in a 12-year-old female, a novel and unrecognized presentation of varicella in childhood. Unlike previously reported cases with varicella associated abscess that treated by intravenous antibiotics and surgical drainage, the current patient did not receive any medical or surgical therapy and spontaneous resolution of the abscess radiologically confirmed on serial follow up with imaging.
