An Unusual Feature of Graze Gunshot Wounds.
Article in Academic forensic pathology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
All graze wounds that occurred in the jurisdiction of the Fulton County Medical Examiners Center over a ten-year period (2005-2014) were inspected. Of a total of 227 graze wounds, 31 (14%) exhibited a previously not well-described feature. At one end of the graze wound, two small, subtle, parallel abrasions separated by a band of spared skin extended away from the wound. This finding occurred more often at the proximal corner (16 times) than the distal corner (seven times) when a direction was able to be determined. The mechanism of this feature does not appear to be related to jacketed ammunition expected to deform into petals. Possible mechanisms for the creation of this feature are random irregularities in skin resistance along with slight wobble (yaw) of the bullet or pressure waves generated by the bullet that causes buckling of the skin.
