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

An 11-month-old girl presented to hospital with a massive subdural haematoma and bilateral retinal haemorrhages following an allegedly minor fall. There were no external signs of bruising and no prior bleeding tendency was reported. Although initial analyses were normal, repeated testing of the coagulation-fibrinolysis system led to a diagnosis of mild von Willebrand disease (vWD) Type 1. It was concluded that minor head trauma as described by the parents, in the presence of such a coagulation disorder, could explain the findings. Police charges against the parents, initially accused of child abuse, were withdrawn. Retinal haemorrhages in infants with vWD have not been previously reported. This case highlights the importance of considering vWD as a possible contributory factor in cases of infant head injury.
