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

Iliac crest avulsion injuries are rare and frequently misdiagnosed in adolescents. We report a case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with iliac apophysitis following a noncontact injury during a football game. The diagnosis was confirmed with radiography. The patient was treated conservatively with activity modification, limited weight bearing, and physical therapy, resulting in full recovery. This case highlights the importance of considering rare apophyseal injuries and obtaining appropriate imaging in adolescent athletes.
