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

Gunshot injuries and bullet removal are extremely rare indications for hip arthroscopy. We present the case of a 22-year-old male with a free-floating bullet in the hip joint after a gunshot injury. A thorough imaging investigation was used to demonstrate the exact location of the foreign body. The bullet was removed by arthroscopic means under fluoroscopic guidance. The patient has been symptom-free for two years postoperatively. The tips and tricks of the technique are discussed. Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique to remove a free-floating bullet and avoid potential long-term complications like chondral injury and lead intoxication.
