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

Deaths in those with a history of injecting drug use commonly come to the attention of forensic pathologists, and therefore, one must have knowledge of possible findings and hazards of performing autopsies in these cases. This case demonstrates the finding of extensive retained broken needles in the subcutis of the arms and femoral region in a man with a long history of injecting drug use. While few or single broken needles are not uncommonly encountered, the multiplicity of needles in this case is noteworthy. We have demonstrated the findings both radiologically with PMCT and by conventional autopsy.
