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

Penetrating cardiac injury is a highly lethal injury often resulting in ventricular injury. We present a case of a low-velocity penetrating cardiac injury with pericardial tamponade from a left ventricle myocardial defect managed operatively with a pericardial window that was converted to a median sternotomy with stapled control of the left ventricular injury. Patient was subsequently diagnosed with mitral valve anterior leaflet perforation with left thrombus managed medically with anticoagulation. Our treatment highlights several considerations during operative management of traumatic cardiac injury.
