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

Injury to the dural venous sinuses poses a risk for significant hemorrhage and air embolism during surgery. The objectives for this case report are to describe the challenges of a traumatic transverse sinus injury following a motorcycle accident, demonstrate the use of a macerated autologous muscle graft for achieving hemostasis in a venous sinus defect, and highlight key considerations in the perioperative management and postoperative outcomes of patients with cerebral venous sinus injuries. The report describes the surgical intervention and use of macerated muscle tissue for hemostasis of a traumatic transverse sinus injury in a 39-year-old male due to a motorcycle accident. The injury to the sinus is due to an avulsed cortical vein, causing a round defect on the sinus wall. It discusses the technique to repair the sinus and its mechanism. The patient's postoperative course, recovery, and the rationale behind the chosen surgical approach are discussed as well.
