Use of the EVARREST patch for penetrating cardiac injury.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Penetrating cardiac injuries have a pre-hospital mortality of 94% with a subsequent in-hospital mortality of 50% among initial survivors (Leite et al., 2017 [1]). The Western Trauma Association (WTA) guidelines recommend resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) for patients with penetrating torso trauma and less than 15 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Burlew et al. (2012) [2]. Penetrating cardiac injuries are classically repaired using skin-stapling devices and/or suture repair with or without pledgets (Wall et al., 1997 [3]). In this study, we present a case of penetrating cardiac injury where all the aforementioned techniques failed, and a new approach was explored. A fibrinogen/thrombin patch was used in this clinical setting, which is an off-label use of the product, we here present our encouraging outcome.
