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

Representing less than 1% of all traumatic injuries, diaphragmatic injuries are uncommon and are usually associated with injuries in other thoracic and abdominal organs. We report a case of a diaphragmatic injury in a 38-year-old man who presented to the Emergency Department due to a pedestrian-vehicle accident. He had a massive hemothorax on the left due to a ruptured spleen. An exploratory laparotomy was done to manage the bleeding, restore the diaphragmatic hernia contents in their right anatomical position, conduct a splenectomy, and repair the diaphragmatic defect. Although the majority of diaphragmatic ruptures are diagnosed acutely, late presentations are usually reported in blunt trauma; therefore, a high clinical suspicion with imaging is essential for the diagnosis.
