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

Blunt traumatic transection of the innominate artery is rare. We describe a case of a 36-year-old male who presented to our Emergency & Trauma Center after being struck by a motor vehicle at high speed. Computerised Tomography (CT) scanning after the patient was stabilised facilitated the prompt diagnosis of the injury. The patient underwent open repair by midline sternotomy, with debranching of the innominate artery, using hypothermic circulatory arrest as a neuroprotective measure. The patient was successfully extubated on post-operative day 3, without neurological deficit. We provide our experience as an option for treating any patient that presents with such an injury.
