Wandering Bullet Embolization in Suicidal Near-Contact Gunshot Wound.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Suicidal firearm injuries with bullet embolization following wandering bullet path are infrequent findings where the penetrated bullet could not be detected in the expected location. If this condition exists, one entrance wound will be present without an exit wound. Through necro-radiographs and postmortem autopsy, forensic experts can determine the nonlinear trajectory of the bullet. To understand the internal bullet path properly, forensic experts should interpret the medicolegal investigation results in the context of tissue and ballistics factors. Various medical specialties, including forensic experts, should be aware of the possibility of the nonlinear bullet trajectory and the possibility of bullet embolization in distant sites in order to save lives and/or interpret the collected evidence to support the justice in such uncommon incident.
