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

Background: With the insurgency and farmer-herder crisis in northeast Nigeria, arrow injuries with various fatalities have been on the increase. Practicing in a low-resource setting with no functional computed tomography (CT) scan necessitates utmost dependence on plain X-rays for decision-making in patient care. Case Description: We present our experience with a patient who presented in our facility with a right transorbital subfrontal arrow injury. The patient had retrograde extraction of the arrow based on plain X-ray findings with no sequelae. Conclusion: We highlighted the role of X-ray in the management of arrow injuries, although bone window CT without or with angiography is the gold standard of imaging modalities in the management of patients with arrow injuries to the head.
