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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused more than 6.1 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in more than 188 countries, and has caused more than 370,000 deaths globally as of June 1, 2020. In addition, thousands of healthcare workers have also got infected with the virus. COVID-19 patients release large amounts of infectious viral particles in form of droplets from cough, sneeze and respiratory secretions. These droplets are the main modes of transmission of COVID-19. This mode of transmission puts the healthcare professionals at an increased risk of infection, especially from asymptomatic patients. As a result, during the current pandemic, most routine surgeries all around the world have been suspended, and only emergency surgeries are being performed. Facial trauma surgery is one such emergency surgery that cannot be delayed or suspended even in this pandemic. This review focuses on precautions surgeons have to take while managing facial trauma patients in the emergency department and while performing emergency surgeries on these patients during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
