Purpura Fulminans in a 22-Month-Old Child: Early Recognition and Favorable Outcome Without Limb Loss.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare but life-threatening complication of meningococcal sepsis marked by rapidly progressive hemorrhagic skin lesions, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and microvascular thrombosis, often leading to high mortality and limb loss. We report a previously healthy 22-month-old boy who presented with fever, followed by rapidly evolving ecchymotic lesions and laboratory evidence of septic shock with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and markedly reduced protein C levels; blood culture and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed
