Pretibial hematomas - A real-world single-center study.
Article in JPRAS open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
We analyzed treatment, outcome, and risk factors for skin necrosis of 60 patients aged ≥65 years treated for a pretibial hematoma in the province of Kymenlaakso, Finland, between 2015 and 2019. Reviewing patients' medical records revealed two cohorts with distinct trajectories in outcome. By comparing the cohorts, we were able to discover factors associated with the prognosis for generating skin necrosis and the need for operative treatment. Thirty-five (58.3%) patients healed without any management, and 25 (41.7%) patients were treated with hematoma evacuation, mostly for having generated skin necrosis (72%). Among operatively treated patients' descriptions, such as "parchment skin" and "poor skin quality" were observed frequently (80%) in the medical records. This pathology, dermatoporosis, was statistically significant (
