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

We describe a 28-year-old man who sustained an open IIIB left ankle fracture dislocation with heel pad avulsion. The patient underwent formal angiography of the left lower extremity, followed by free tissue transfer of a rectus abdominis flap several days later. Intraoperatively, a thrombus was identified in the deep inferior epigastric artery above the femoral artery access site requiring thrombectomy. Histologic analysis estimated the thrombus age at 12 to 72 hours, raising concern that the thrombus was induced during angiogram instrumentation. Donor and recipient site-specific risks of arterial instrumentation (including invasive diagnostics) should be considered when planning free tissue transfer.
