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

Cryptococcus is a ubiquitous fungus that can cause serious infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. It usually affects the brain and lungs but can occasionally affect the bones. The vertebrae, skull, and femur are most commonly involved. Cryptococcal osteomyelitis of the ulna is very rare, with less than 5 previously published cases in literature. The imaging findings of cryptococcal osteomyelitis are unfortunately often indistinguishable from those of malignancy. In this report, we describe a case of cryptococcal osteomyelitis of the ulna in an immunocompetent patient.
