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

introductionMortality in orthopaedics is different in underdeveloped, developing and developed countries depending on the health, orthopaedic and trauma care services, education status and social awareness. Analysis of mortality and causes of death is an important step to identify the risk factor. Such study is invaluable for epidemiological monitoring and health care planning.

methodsBetween September 2015 to August 2018 demographic data, timing and primary diagnosis of both mortality and admission were collected retrospectively in a leading tertiary care hospital in the city of Mumbai, India.

resultsTotal admissions of 10,937 in the 3-year period with increased average monthly admission in the month of June, July and August. Trauma to be most common cause of admission and death and Road traffic accident to be the most common cause of trauma followed by slip and fall. The death rate was 0.55 per 100 admissions per year. In males most common age group was 18-60 years and in females above 60 years of age.

conclusionThere is a link of increased admission rate in the monsoon months (rainy season) in India and road traffic accident and slip and fall. So accident prevention and health care planning and management of trauma victim, improvement of quality of life of general population will reduce trauma and related complications.
