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

Bilateral knee dislocation is an extremely rare and devastating injury to the knee joint. This injury is a true emergency as concomitant injuries may threaten life and limb. Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old male patient who sustained bilateral knee dislocation due to a high-velocity motor vehicle accident. In this case, the patient suffered a feared complication associated with knee dislocation, popliteal artery disruption with peroneal nerve damage. Abdominal and skeletal injuries were also discovered and treated appropriately by a multidisciplinary team. A staged surgical approach to ligament reconstruction was used without any postoperative complication. Postoperatively, the patient successfully returned to his preoperative activity level.
