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

Introduction: In the mangled forearm injury, a decision between limb salvage or amputation must be made. Case Report: This case report highlights a 37-year-old patient that sustained a mangled wrist injury with a substantial amount of bone loss to the distal radius after an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) rollover accident. The decision for limb salvage was made and he was treated with the induced membrane technique with wrist arthrodesis using a ring external fixator with a satisfactory outcome. Conclusion: This case report demonstrates the successful use of the induced membrane technique with a ring external fixator as a limb salvage technique to achieve wrist fusion in a mangled extremity with segmental bone loss.
