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

A middle-aged patient presented with persistent purulent discharge from a scalp incision five years after undergoing craniotomy with artificial dura mater implantation. The wound showed no significant improvement despite a month of systemic antibiotic therapy and local debridement. Subsequent superficial ultrasonography revealed complete separation of the artificial dura mater implant area from the surrounding flap tissue, with a loss of local blood supply. Based on these findings, the artificial dura mater was surgically removed, and a free skin flap transplantation was performed to successfully cover the wound. The wound was well-healed at the 10-month postoperative follow-up.
