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

Nonmissile intracranial penetrating injury (IPI) in pediatric population is rare. Here, we report the exceedingly rare case of a 5-month-old infant sustained by a metallic clothes fork penetrating into his left forehead. The little baby was identified to carry a traumatic hemorrhagic shock, and a multidisciplinary team (MDT) was immediately established response for whole-course evaluation and decision-making. Computed tomography revealed that the clothes fork had impaled into the left frontal bone and brain parenchyma with about 3.2 cm inside the cranial vault. The infant underwent emergency surgery, and the clothes fork was removed jointly by MDT members under general anesthesia in the retrograde direction. His recovery was uneventful and was followed up 2 years without growth and developmental abnormality. As an extremely rare entity with distinct age-related characteristics, a MDT approach is a best choice and effective strategy to manage infant nonmissile IPI, including preoperative management, surgical treatment, and even following rehabilitation.
