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

Ring avulsion injuries are an uncommon, often catastrophic, pattern of digit injuries that result from sudden traction onto a ring-bearing digit. The reconstructive treatment of these injuries can be complex because of the characteristic involvement of nerves, muscles, vasculature, and bone. There is paucity of literature describing isolated arterial injuries in the absence of overlying soft tissue and underlying bone involvement. We present an unusual case of a closed ring avulsion injury, wherein a patient initially presented to his local urgent care center with a cool and pale digit without wounds or fractures, and abnormal pulse oximetry readings prompted his transfer to a tertiary care center for further evaluation. Surgical exploration demonstrated isolated disruption of both digital arteries and the preservation of both digital nerves. The digit was successfully revascularized with venous autografting and stripping of arterial thrombi.
