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

objectiveSternal fracture may be associated with major and serious injuries. In this study, the complications associated with isolated sternal fracture in trauma patients are evaluated based on radiographic and cardiac findings.

methodsThis retrospective study was performed on patients with isolated sternal fractures admitted to the emergency department of (XXX) Madani Educational-Medical. Data regarding demographic information, mechanism of trauma, length of hospitalization, electrocardiography (ECG), cardiac enzyme, and chest radiography were recorded in the questionnaire for each patient.

resultsThe mean age of patients 41.2 + 11.04 years and 63.9% were male. The most common cause of the trauma was car accidents in 41% (25 cases). The mean duration of hospitalization was 1.54 ± 0.90 days. The mechanism of trauma was not associated with x-ray and computed tomography findings, p = 0.53 and p = 0.86, respectively. ECG findings were significantly related to x-ray and computed tomography outcomes, p < 0.001, respectively.

conclusionPatients with isolated sternal fracture with displacement >0.5 cm and hematoma are likely to require cardiac consultation.
