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

Brodie's abscess is a rare form of subacute osteomyelitis, most commonly affecting the metaphysis of long bones in pediatric patients. Involvement of the hand is exceptional, and its indolent course combined with nonspecific imaging features can make diagnosis challenging. Here, we describe a case of Brodie's abscess following an animal bite and compare it with the few reported cases of Brodie's abscess of the hand in the literature.
