The Impact of the Syrian Civil War on One Department in an Israeli Hospital.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 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
During the Syrian civil war, Syrian refugees crossed the Israeli border to receive medical treatment. During this time, Galilee Medical Center (GMC) became the main center for multidisciplinary treatment of these war-wounded patients. This retrospective study compares the demographics of local Israeli and refugee Syrian patients, as well as the volume and types of procedures each group received over a 5-year period. From January 2013 to December 2017, 963 unique patients underwent 1,751 procedures in the GMC Plastic Surgery Department. Of these patients, 176 were Syrian-including 42 children-and 787 were Israeli. These groups underwent 393 and 1,358 procedures, respectively, for a procedure-per-patient ratio of 2.23 versus 1.72, respectively. On average, Syrian patients tended to be younger than Israeli patients (23.6 vs. 49.25 years), had longer median hospitalization time (50 vs. 8 days), longer median operative times (102 vs. 85 minutes), and higher incidence of infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria (52.2 vs. 5.8%). Further, Syrian patients had more trauma-related procedures, such as skin grafts, wound debridement, and microsurgery, than Israeli patients. Through this process, GMC's plastic surgery department gained unprecedented exposure to a variety of complex procedures.
