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

Foreign body penetration from the scrotum is not rare. If a large and sharp foreign body pierces through an existing wound, it likely must be extended to improve exposure. Therefore, many traumatologists attempt to minimize the surgical wound caused by the removal of the foreign body. We describe a case of a foreign object penetrating from the scrotum to anterior abdominal wall. Our novel surgical approach is safe and feasible to use and provides minimal scarring, thereby allowing rapid recovery.
