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

Emphysematous osteomyelitis is a rare and potentially life-threatening form of osteomyelitis characterized by intraosseous gas. In the absence of prior surgery or open fracture, it is most commonly seen in immunocompromised adults and associated with gram-negative organisms. We report a rare case of acetabular emphysematous osteomyelitis in a 12-year-old immunocompetent male child. Marrow signal alteration with soft tissue collection involving the right acetabular area of pelvic bones was seen on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated intraosseous air foci with the characteristic pumice stone sign, confirming the diagnosis. Culture grew methicillin-sensitive
