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

Thoracoabdominal hernia following blunt trauma is extremely rare. Abdominal viscera are more likely to herniate into the thorax if there is traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. We report the case of a patient presenting with a traumatic thoracoabdominal hernia containing part of the right lobe of the liver and the hepatic flexure of the colon. The hernia migrated cranially, to protrude through a seventh intercostal defect despite the diaphragm remaining fully intact. The need for early multispecialty (thoracic and hepatobiliary) surgical repair is highlighted, with improvements in surgical outcome for a complex trauma case by using a novel chest-wall reconstruction technique.
