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

In this survey, we compared the current postoperative practices in the largest replantation units of four Nordic countries. The topics included were indication for surgery, anaesthesia, postoperative monitoring, use of antibiotics, anticoagulation and postoperative intravenous fluids, change of dressings, duration of bed rest and hospital stay, hand therapy and follow-up after discharge. Although there were many similarities between the units in the postoperative protocols, we found a large variety of practices. There is no robust evidence to assess or support or reject most of the strategies in postoperative care. The differences in practice warrant prospective studies in order to establish an evidence-based postoperative protocol for replantation surgery.
