Sledge Hammer Impalement: a case report of challenges of managing a patient with a heavy pendant.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
introductionImpalement injuries are well defined. Transfixion injuries involve impalement and are defined in terms of fixation usually to a large object. CASE REPORT: We report a spectacular case of sledge hammer impalement in the neck where the patient was transfixed, albeit to a small object, requiring movement of the patient and the transfixing object as a single unit. DISCUSSION: The patient was fixed to the head of the sledge hammer because he was unable to move with the heavy pendant.
conclusionWe argue that transfixion injuries should be defined in terms of weight of the object in relation to the patient's weight and the ability of the patient to move (with) the impaling object.
