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

purposeThe primary objective of this study was to evaluate factors that influence the survival rate after digit replantation.

methodsA total of 291 digits of 200 patients who received digital replantation after complete amputation from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2015 were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to evaluate the correlation between potential risk factors and the failure rate. Age, gender, smoking status, Tamai level of amputation, causes of injury and ischemia time were recorded before replantation.

resultsAge, smoking, causes of injury and ischemia time were pre-operative predictors for survival. On the contrary, gender and Tamai level did not alter the survival rate significantly. We divided patients into four groups according their smoking status: none, mild (<10 cigarettes per day), moderate (10-20 cigarettes per day) and heavy (>20 cigarettes per day). Our data demonstrated that the risks of failure only increased in heavy group.

conclusionsMild and moderate cigarette consumption (<20 cigarettes per day) did not increase the risk for replant failure of digits. Heavy (>20 cigarettes per day) cigarette consumption, increased age (>45 years), non-cut injury and prolonged ischemia time (>12 hours) were risk factors for replant failure.
