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
aimTo analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, and prognosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) in Chinese pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 5 cases of CRMO at Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University. These data were compared with the clinical characteristics of 75 pediatric cases reported in China up to December 2024. The medical journal search engines utilized for this study included Wanfang Data and Science China for Chinese literature, while PubMed was employed for foreign language medical journals.
resultsNo gender differences were observed in the incidence of CRMO. The diagnostic process may be protracted, with a delay of up to 7 years being observed. A significant majority of patients, specifically 92.5%, presented with bone pain, while fever, arthritis, or rash were noted in 57.5%, 23.8%, and 13.8% of cases, respectively. Laboratory tests conducted on children diagnosed with CRMO indicated elevated levels of C-reactive protein or sedimentation rates. The most frequently affected skeletal sites included the tibia (70.0%), femur (65.0%), fibula (42.5%), foot (36.3%), and pelvis (32.5%).
conclusionClinical manifestations of CRMO in Chinese children are predominantly marked by bone pain and fever, which, due to their nonspecific nature, often lead to delayed diagnosis. Clinicians should closely monitor children presenting with both symptoms to prevent misdiagnosis. In addition, a rigorous long-term follow-up protocol for children with CRMO is essential to accurately evaluate the disease remission rate.
