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

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a global crisis in health systems worldwide. Emergency care services have been overloaded, and there have been different changes in the patient's profile and the most frequent diagnoses. The aim of the study was to compare the number of emergency surgeries in the Hand and Microsurgery group of the quaternary hospital (IOT-FMUSP) from March 2020 to February 2022, the pandemic period, with the previous two years, March 2018 to February 2020. Two hundred and seventy-two patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 39.54 ± 17 years (range 1 to 90 years), 12.50% (n = 34) women and 87.50% (n = 238) men. Between March 2018 and February 2020, 142 (52.21%) emergency upper limb surgeries were performed; between March 2020 and February 2022, 130 surgeries were performed (47.79%). There was a reduction in upper limb surgeries in patients between 26-45 years and blunt injury surgeries. There was also an increase in surgeries in patients over 46, amputations, fractures, re-implantation procedures, and open fracture fixation.
