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

Medicolegal autopsies should be performed for sudden, unexpected, and suspicious deaths. Such autopsies should be performed by a knowledgeable Forensic Pathologist who has experience in performing traditional autopsy techniques, as well as having an understanding of how to supplement these techniques with more scientifically advanced techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and postmortem computed tomography. In this case, we utilized the traditional Ghon technique to remove the urogenital system, combined with postmortem computed tomography of the coronary arteries and contrast imaging of the ureters. By combining a traditional autopsy technique with more advanced imaging techniques, we were able to definitively establish the cause of death as coronary artery occlusion and, by doing so, remove any suspicion of medical negligence committed by the treating physicians during ureteroscopic bilateral stone removal.
