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
Neonatal suppurative cervical lymphadenitis is uncommon, particularly in extremely low-birth-weight infants. We report a 772 g infant born at 28 weeks of gestation who developed rapidly progressive unilateral cervical lymphadenitis caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) on postnatal day 31. The infant remained afebrile and blood cultures were negative despite progression requiring repeated drainage. The cervical isolate was genotyped as ST20/spa-t3929 and shared an identical genetic profile with an earlier pharyngeal isolate, suggesting that the infection arose from pre-existing S. aureus colonization. This case highlights the potential for ST20 MSSA to cause localized invasive infection in preterm infants.
