Is Achenbach's syndrome a surgical emergency? A systematic review.
Synthesis in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
aimThe aim of this study is to establish the nature (urgent vs. non-urgent), demographics, presentation and management of Achenbach's syndrome and to formulate an algorithmic approach for their diagnosis and management. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic review and met-aggregation of literature from 1944 to 2015 in English language in MedLine, Embase and Cochrane database were conducted.
resultsAchenbach's syndrome is a female-dominant disease with median age of 49.5 years (range 22-76) (age ≤60, n = 11/12, 91 %). It presents with unilateral volar discoloration of a finger (100 %). It is associated with pain (n = 7/12, 58. %), edema (n = 7/12, 58 %), and paresthesia (n = 3/12, 25 %). The median time to resolution of symptoms without any intervention was 4 days (range 2-14).
conclusionAS is self-limiting and a non-urgent surgical condition. It can be differentiated from other pathologies by clinical spectrum, patient demographics and in doubtful circumstances (acute limb ischemia) by Doppler sonography. An algorithmic approach can avoid hospital admissions, partially unnecessary investigation and assist in patient assurance.
