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

High pressure injection injuries to upper extremities are largely rare occurrences. The direct and indirect effects of the injected substance can cause debilitating consequences for those affected and can lead to digit amputation. This case series includes three patients with high pressure injection injuries admitted to a single tertiary centre over one year. One patient was discharged from both plastic surgery and hand therapy 6 months post injury. He reports good function but has residual numbness and cold intolerance. The second individual is still linked to surgical outpatients and has ongoing hand therapy requirements, stiffness, and numbness 12 months post injury. The final patient represented three months post initial debridement with an infected finger that required amputation. Based on these findings, it is imperative that prompt surgical debridement occurs in conjunction with early hand therapy intervention to achieve optimal outcomes for patients.
