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

Bilateral divergent fracture dislocations of the shoulder are very rare. Caution with regards to seizure development in COVID-19 patients must be taken to avoid such injuries. This is the case of a male COVID-19 patient who sustained hyponatremia-induced seizure that resulted in bilateral divergent shoulder fracture dislocations. The patient suffered a lesser tuberosity fracture on his left shoulder which was posteriorly dislocated, and a greater tuberosity fracture on his right, which was anteriorly dislocated. The patient underwent bilateral open reduction and internal fixation, with suture anchor fixation for the lesser tuberosity fracture on the left side, and a proximal humerus locking plate for the greater tuberosity fracture on the right side. Education on postoperative complications and expectations were provided to the patient.
