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

Electrical injuries can be horrifying, leading to physical trauma to the patient, along with emotional and financial trauma to the patient and their relatives. Electrical injuries to the calvarium are especially devastating, particularly when they involve high-voltage electricity. Electric injuries can be associated with multiple types of trauma, including burns, scars (Lichtenberg figures), and fractures resulting from falls or muscular spasms. We present a unique case report of post-electric burns (caused by a high-tension wire) over the calvarium, resulting in a lightning-shaped burn partially penetrating the bone. The effect of electrical injury on bone is less well understood, and evidence of such burn injuries should be made aware.
