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

Subdural empyema, mastoiditis, and sinus venous thrombosis are rare infections that may lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications. A 2-year-old male patient with no known underlying disease presented with a 2-day history of ear pain, sore throat, and fever. Physical examination revealed no significant pathology other than hyperemia of the left tympanic membrane. Intravenous ceftriaxone was initiated, and the patient was hospitalized because of persistent fever and poor oral intake. However, despite 3 days of treatment, the fever persisted, and an increase in acute phase reactants was observed. Subsequently, the patient developed hyperemia, swelling, and warmth in the area corresponding to the left mastoid region. Clindamycin was then added to the treatment regimen.
