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

Chance fractures are rare lesions but are often associated with abdominal injuries. We present a case of a 21-year-old patient who sustained a delayed type of abdominal injury associated with a bonny Chance fracture of lumbar 2nd following a traffic accident. Initial X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans showed a Chance fracture with subtle bowel images, evading the prompt diagnosis of bowel injuries. However, the toxic signs were presented after 17h of stay in intensive care unit, and hollow visceral perforation was diagnosed in the re-do abdominal CT scanning. The laparostomy with primary anastomosis was performed for complete transection of the middle part of the jejunum. After a follow-up period of 20 days, the patient underwent kyphoplasty, accompanied by posterior fusion of the L1-L3 vertebrae and was found well recovered at 2 weeks follow-up. Clinicians should realize the subtle but meaningful imaging signs to allow prompt diagnosis as well as management when meeting patients with seatbelt sign associated with Chance fracture after a traffic accident.
