Bilateral Skull Fractures in an Infant: Diagnostic Dilemma Between Accident and Abuse.

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
Accidental head injury in infants is relatively common in the emergency department. However, abusive head trauma (AHT) should be considered in the differential diagnosis because of its strong association with morbidity and mortality. A 4-month-old male infant was admitted to the emergency department by his parents because of bilateral scalp swelling. Skull radiography and head computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction revealed bilateral linear parietal skull fractures. Although bilateral skull fractures are more commonly associated with AHT than single linear skull fractures, they may also result from a single accidental impact. Because skull fracture patterns alone cannot exclude AHT, a comprehensive medical evaluation is essential. If clinicians have even a slight suspicion of AHT, they should not hesitate to consult the hospital child protection team or Child Protective Services.
