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

Fulminant fat embolism syndrome (FES) occurring within 1 h after trauma is extremely rare. We report a case of fulminant FES that developed hyperacute nature after a traumatic injury. A 66-year-old woman was injured when she fell approximately 1.5 m down the stairs. She was rushed to our hospital. One minute after arrival, which was 49 min after the injury, her consciousness and respiratory status deteriorated. Thoracoabdominal and pelvic computed tomography revealed preexisting interstitial pneumonia, a left femoral neck fracture, and a left sacral fracture. Head magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion-weighted imaging) showed diffuse high-signal areas and susceptibility-weighted imaging showed diffuse small perivascular of perivascular hemorrhages. She was diagnosed with fulminant FES. After conservative treatment, she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 8 and a modified Rankin Scale of 5 on Day 45. The possibility of fulminant FES should be considered a cause of early impaired consciousness after a fracture.
