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

rationaleThe use of adhesive drapes has decreased the incidence of surgical-site infections. PATIENT CONCERNS: Despite the obvious benefits of the proper use of drapes, there remain many potential risks. DIAGNOSE: A 66-year-old man with a history of left knee osteoarthritis and varus deformity underwent total knee arthroplasty at our hospital, upon removal of the adhesive drape by delicate peeling and warm saline lavage, a large area of the skin avulsion happened.

interventionsA standardized set of care measures were applied to the wound to avoid wound infection. OUTCOMES: After 6 weeks of treatment, the avulsed wound showed no signs of infection and had undergone re-epithelialization. LESSONS: Individuals with high-risk skin avulsion injuries should be provided with preventive measures and the necessity of continuous application of adhesive drapes should be further studied.
