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

A 26-year-old male athlete presented to our hospital with bilateral leg pain after intense training. He had a history of transient numbness and pain with rigorous exercise but this time pain persisted and drop foot developed. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of acute exertional compartment syndrome was delayed due to late presentation of the patient in our department. He underwent three consecutive surgeries for decompression and debridement. At 13 months follow-up, he is ambulatory with bilateral ankle-foot orthosis. This case presents a bilateral, acute anterior exertional compartment syndrome of the leg and highlights the need for high clinical suspicion and early treatment of the acute exertional compartment syndrome.
