Chest, pericardium, abdomen, and thigh penetrating injury by a steel rebar: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCombined penetrating trauma involving the chest, pericardium, abdomen, and thigh is rare and lethal. It is difficult to quickly rescue patients with penetrating injuries from long steel bars. CASE SUMMARY: A previously healthy 56-year-old male worker presented with a length of rebar that penetrated the chest-abdomen-pelvic cavity and was palpable on the anterior side of the neck and thigh. On radiological imaging, the left chest wall-left chest cavity-mediastinum-abdominal cavity-right groin area-right thigh demonstrated a strip-like density shadow, about 1.5 cm thick, with the heart, stomach wall, and part of the intestine involved. There was a left-sided pleural effusion, left lung compression of about 50%-60%, and a small amount of left pleural effusion/blood accumulation; possible perforation of hollow organs; and double multiple ribs fractures on the side. An emergency green channel was opened to provide a rescue process for smooth and timely diagnostic and treatment to save the patient's life. The patient was followed at 4 mo after discharge and showed good recovery.
conclusionFor pre-hospital emergency treatment in locations that are not fully prepared for surgery, we do not recommend cutting the steel bars outside the body. We advocate pulling out foreign bodies intact to reduce secondary injuries.
