Bilateral Cellulitis Presented As Lower-Extremity Pain Reported in a Chiropractic Clinic: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Bilateral lower-extremity cellulitis is a rare but serious condition that can lead to long-term health complications if left untreated. Herein, we report a case of a 71-year-old obese male with a two-month history of lower-extremity pain and ankle swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the presence of bilateral lower-extremity cellulitis, which was confirmed through blood culture by the patient's family doctor. The patient's initial presentation of musculoskeletal pain, limited mobility, and other features coupled with MRI findings served as indications for timely referral to the patient's family doctor for further evaluation and management. Chiropractors should be aware of the warning signs of infection and the importance of advanced imaging for diagnosing such cases. Early detection and prompt referral to a family doctor for care can help prevent long-term health complications associated with lower-extremity cellulitis.
