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

The effective diagnosis and management of inflicted intra-abdominal injuries require a comprehensive, collaborative evaluation that includes a thorough understanding of the clinical presentation, laboratory findings, injury mechanisms, and potential clinical outcomes. This review presents the various aspects of inflicted intra-abdominal injuries, including the clinical presentation, mechanisms of injury, and the utility of available screening and imaging tools. The specific types of solid organ and hollow viscus injuries relevant to child physical abuse and their imaging appearance are also discussed. Radiological imaging provides critical information that can help treating providers contextualize the history obtained and the injuries identified, highlighting the value of close collaboration among radiologists, child abuse pediatricians, and other members of the clinical team when concerns for abuse arise.
