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

Hanging is amongst the most commonly used methods of suicide. Multiple findings could be observed in such cases. Knowing the proper mechanism of their occurrence and how to interpret them is of utmost importance in forensic practice to avoid misinterpretation and wrong conclusions. The study aimed to present a case of hanging with putrefactive changes - external and internal findings, signs or prolonged stay in a hanged position, their interpretation, and discussion as part of the routine forensic practice.
