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

Emphysematous osteomyelitis (EOM) is defined as the presence of gas forming bacteria within bones. It is seen in patients with morbid conditions like immunosuppression, diabetes, patients on chemotherapy, in cancer patients and in intravenous drug abusers. We present two cases of emphysematous osteomyelitis in patients with hematological malignancies; lymphoma and leukemia. Both the patients had similar clinical presentations with fever, localized swelling, and pain. Both patients underwent sonography (USG) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and imaging diagnosis of EOM was made. Microbiological confirmation of the causative organism was done and patients were started on appropriate antibiotics. Both patients responded very well to the treatment. Imaging findings and treatment outcomes are discussed, highlighting the challenges in managing this rare complication.
