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

The high-pressure water jet cutting method, which uses a high-pressure water stream to cut hard materials, is widely used because it does not generate sparks or dust. However, once the high-pressure water jet is accidentally fired at a human body, a large amount of water containing abrasive materials flows into the body in a short time, causing severely contaminated injuries (Dailiana et al., 2008 [1]). Water jet injury (WJI) should be treated as a surgical emergency, but the severity is often underestimated, and treatment is delayed because the wound often shows only small holes [1]. Previous reports have shown that the majority of WJI occur in the extremities [1] (Rodríguez et al., 2019 [2]). On the other hand, abdominal and thoracic WJIs have been rarely reported, with only two cases of thoracic WJI [2]. Here, a case of thoracic WJI in which the patient was brought to our hospital the day after injury and treatment intervention was delayed is presented, and points to consider in the diagnosis and treatment strategy for WJI to the chest are discussed.
