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

backgroundIn severe pelvic fracture, keys of successful treatment are early hemostasis and timely definitive care. We present a case in which the patient was treated by fast and reliable hemostasis and subsequent comprehensive hemicorporectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of a 47-year-old man with severe pelvic trauma. He received early intervention by the helicopter emergency medical service, which included rapid transarterial embolization as damage control interventional radiology in the hybrid emergency room, and hemicorporectomy as a multidisciplinary approach. This series of treatments saved his life and he was discharged home.

conclusionHemicorporectomy could be the only treatment option in patients with severe pelvic injury when there are no reconstruction options. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of severe open pelvic fractures with blood vessel damage, successfully treated by initial hemostasis using the helicopter emergency medical service, hybrid emergency room system, and following hemicorporectomy as a definitive care.
