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 report the case of a woman in her thirties who suffered an esophageal rupture while participating in extreme sadomasochistic practices. After herself seeking help in a hospital for complaints alleged to be from a fall, she was initially diagnosed with several broken ribs and a pneumothorax. The cause of the pneumothorax was later discovered to be an esophageal rupture. When confronted with this atypical injury for a fall, the woman admitted to have accidentally swallowed an inflatable gag, which her partner had afterwards inflated. In addition to the esophageal rupture, the patient also had numerous other externally visible injuries of various ages, reportedly also from sadomasochistic acts. Although an in-depth police investigation was conducted and a "slave contract" was found, the woman's consent to the extreme sexual practices performed by her life partner could not be substantiated conclusively. The man was convicted for intentional infliction of serious as well as dangerous bodily injury and sentenced to a long term in prison.
