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

Self-inflicted gunshot wounds (SI-GSW) to the head and face are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Patients who do survive their injuries often face life-altering disfigurement and disability. To effectively care for these patients, providers must not only detect and address the immediate life-threatening injuries, but also plan for long-term definitive reconstruction. This review provides an overview of presentation and management of SI-GSW to the face, including initial stabilization and workup, assembly of a multidisciplinary care team, surgical reconstruction of soft tissue and bony defects, and long-term management to address aesthetic and functional goals. Emphasis is placed on the role of plastic and reconstructive surgeons in SI-GSW reconstruction; however, a better understanding of these complex injuries and their management can help all health care providers better optimize care for this high-risk population.
