A case of bony injury and osteomyelitis during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Social isolation has been linked with psychological and cognitive decline and this has become more pertinent during the Covid19 pandemic. Here we report a case of self-inflicted tibial bony defect with associated osteomyelitis due to leg ulcers, self-neglect, and lack of support during self-isolation relating to Covid-19 restrictions. The soft tissue and bony defect created was extensive and it is likely caused by a support stocking acting as a tourniquet over a long time. The patient developed osteomyelitis and septicaemia and was treated with IV antibiotics. She was found to have mild cognitive impairment and was referred to community memory services. Thus, successive lockdowns with subsequent self-elected isolation have serious consequences for physical and mental well-being.
