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

Diatom test has been widely used in the diagnosis of drowning and inferring the drowning site. One of the issues is whether the concordance of the diatom types and patterns between the drowning victim's organs and media should be considered an essential requirement for the diagnosis of drowning. In this study, lung tissues from 20 rabbits and drowning media were studied by the Microwave Digestion-Vacuum Filtration-Automated Scanning Electron Microscopy method, and four methods, type consistency, coefficient of similarity, squared-chord distance, and cluster analysis, were introduced to analyze the diatom types and patterns for evaluating the value of diatom consistency in drowning cases. The results showed that diatom types and patterns in lung tissues do not perfectly match the drowning medium, and they are sometimes concordant with the drowning medium sampled from other than drowning site. We should be cautious when using diatom detection to infer drowning sites.
