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

Isolated compartment syndrome of the hand, although uncommon, can lead to considerable functional deficits if not treated promptly. The most common etiologies are related to trauma, burns, or electric injuries; however, some cases have been reported after intravenous infiltration events, particularly rapid intravenous contrast injection. In this case report, we describe the development of compartment syndrome in the hand of a critically ill patient with COVID-19 pneumonia and sepsis 16 days after doxycycline infiltration injury. She presented with worsening pain, swelling, bullous eruption, and intrinsic minus hand posturing. Emergent surgical release of intrinsic hand compartments and evacuation of a hematoma resolved her symptoms and preserved hand function. Early recognition and surgical intervention of compartment syndrome of the hand after infiltration injury in medically complex patients will reduce morbidity in this patient population.
