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

objectiveDescription of the main forensic radiological examination modalities and findings in blunt force trauma in living and deceased adults.

methodsElaboration of the essential points based on the authors' own experiences and relevant literature. RESULTS AND

conclusionInjury-related consequences of blunt force are frequently observed in forensic radiological diagnostics, especially in the context of accidents and suicides, and less frequently in homicides. The method of choice for radiological imaging of blunt force in deceased persons is native postmortem computed tomography (PMCT). In principle, the radiological effects of blunt force in PMCT do not differ significantly from those in living persons. Postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI) is very suitable for imaging blunt soft tissue injuries in the shorter postmortem interval. In the case of living individuals with the consequences of blunt force trauma, imaging is primarily indicated for clinical diagnostic reasons. Common indications are domestic violence, violence against the elderly, and disputes in public spaces. The choice of radiological examination method depends on the clinical history and symptoms, and the radiological examinations can be subjected to a forensic assessment.
