Osteomyelitis Secondary to Infected Cephalhematoma in a Female Neonate: A Case Report and Clinical Insights.
Article in Case reports in pediatrics, 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
Cephalhematomas are subperiosteal collections of blood resulting from birth trauma. Usually benign, they tend to resolve spontaneously within a few weeks; however, on rare occasions, they may develop an infection, which can lead to complications such as sepsis, meningitis, and osteomyelitis. Patients present with nonspecific symptoms, making it difficult and crucial to diagnose and treat them promptly. Across literature, there have been limited reports of infected cephalhematomas leading to osteomyelitis, and all such cases have mentioned the involvement of the parietal bone. We present the case of osteomyelitis secondary to an infected cephalhematoma in a female neonate, along with detailed insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the patient. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of the disease, which, in our patient, was first noted on the 5th day of life and properly diagnosed on the 29th day of life, and multidisciplinary treatment in preventing possibly fatal complications.
