Localization of a Bullet in a Firearm Injury Victim Using X-ray Imaging During Autopsy: A Case Report.

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.
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
Firearm injuries can result in varying degrees of trauma, depending on factors such as the type of firearm, range, and wound location. This case report presents the role of X-ray imaging in detecting a projectile causing fatal penetrating abdominal trauma in a 45-year-old male. The patient was found with a gunshot wound in his abdomen, and despite medical interventions, he succumbed to his injuries. X-ray imaging revealed a hyper-dense area resembling a bullet lodged in the abdominal cavity. Autopsy confirmed a close-range gunshot with significant internal damage to the peritoneum, mesentery, liver, and the bullet lodged near the L1 vertebra. This case underscores the value of radiological imaging in identifying projectile trajectory and injury severity, particularly in resource-limited settings. X-rays assist in distinguishing between penetrating and perforating wounds, aiding both forensic investigation and legal procedures. The integration of imaging in forensic autopsies improves the accuracy of injury assessment, especially in cases involving gunshot wounds.
