An unusual work-related fatality: the importance of scene investigation combined with autopsy findings.

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
Transorbital penetrating intracranial injuries are uncommon amongst the civilian population, but they can be found in fatal work-related accidents. An unusual case of accidental fatal penetrating intracranial injury in a 44-year-old man at work is reported. He was working in a building site driving a tractor with a rear- mounted flail mower. While he was mowing grass close to a crane, he became unconscious and then comatose. A cranium X-Ray and a brain CAT scan taken before he died revealed the presence of a metallic foreign body in the left occipital area that had penetrated the left eyelid and orbital bone. At autopsy, a fragment of a frayed electrical copper cable was found stuck in the brain. Investigation at the scene found a cable with the same characteristics of the fragment recovered from the victim's brain protruding from the ground just beneath the tractor. It was concluded that the mower blades had severed the cable and propelled a fragment of it upwards, striking the man in the head.
