Pediatric post-traumatic surgical site infection due to Eikenella corrodens: a case report.
Article in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 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
Eikenella corrodens is a slow-growing, fastidious gram-negative bacillus that is often overlooked in routine diagnostic procedures. We report a case of a nine-year-old girl who developed a surgical site infection five days after debridement and suturing for craniofacial trauma. Gram staining of purulent material found gram-negative coccobacilli. The isolate was presumptively identified as Eikenella spp. by conventional culture and biochemical testing, and later confirmed as E. corrodens by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Based on the literature, amoxicillin/clavulanate was administered without formal antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Following surgical debridement and targeted antimicrobial therapy, the patient showed marked clinical improvement and achieved complete recovery within 13 days. This case highlights the importance of careful microbiological evaluation, appropriate culture conditions, and timely confirmatory identification. Close collaboration between clinicians and laboratories and access to advanced diagnostic methods or referral centers are essential for detecting uncommon pathogens.
