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

Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most prevalent symptomatic primary immunodeficiency in adults and is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent bacterial infections. The initial presentation of sternal osteomyelitis and abscesses, particularly due to Case Summary: We report the case of a 39-year-old, previously healthy male who presented with progressive right-sided chest pain and an anterior chest wall mass. Imaging revealed sternal bone erosion with an associated parasternal soft-tissue collection. Surgical exploration revealed two sternal abscess cavities, and cultures grew pan-susceptible Conclusion: This case highlights a rare presentation of CVID with sternal osteomyelitis and abscess caused by
