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 burn injuries to the scalp are at risk of extensive tissue damage and neurological complications. We present the case of a patient who came into contact with a high-voltage power line while cherry picking, resulting in a large full-thickness scalp defect. Early on in his presentation, he developed progressive global weakness which remained relatively static during his admission. An incidental finding of an extradural abscess complicated his management, requiring urgent surgical intervention with definitive tissue coverage. The scalp was reconstructed using a free myocutaneous anterolateral thigh flap. There were no postoperative complications. Following rehabilitation, the patient was discharged home with limited functional recovery. He mobilises independently with a wheelchair and requires full-time carers.
