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

objectivesEvaluation of performance and forensic relevance of a novel, photorealistic, 3D reconstruction method (cinematic rendering, (CR)) in comparison with conventional post-mortem CT (PMCT) and volume rendering (VR) technique for visualization of traumatic injuries.

methods112 pathologies (fractures, soft tissue injuries and foreign bodies) from 33 human cadavers undergoing whole body PMCT after traumatic death were retrospectively analyzed. Pathologies were reconstructed with CR and VR techniques. Fractures were classified according to their dislocation. Images were evaluated according to their expressiveness and judicial relevance by two forensic pathologists using a five-level Likert-scale (1: high expressiveness, 5: low expressiveness). They decided whether CR reconstructions were suitable for judicial reviews. The detection rate of pathologies was determined by two radiologists.

resultsCR was more expressive than VR for all three trauma categories (

conclusionCR reconstructions are superior to VR regarding the expressiveness. For fractures with substantial dislocation, soft tissue injuries, and foreign bodies ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: CR is a helpful tool to present pathologies found in PMCT for judicial reviews.
