EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF INJURIES IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH DIAGNOSTIC SUSPICION OF ABUSE.

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
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological profile of child abuse cases treated at Hospital Geral de Pirajussara, São Paulo, and to understand the characteristics of associated injuries. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing medical records of patients suspected of abuse, aged 18 years or younger, from January 2012 to December 2022. Data on sex, age, trauma mechanism, presence of fractures, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: A total of 58 records were included. Most cases involved adolescents (50%, n=29). The most common abuse mechanism was physical force (36.21%, n=21), followed by direct trauma by object (13.79%, n=8). Fractures were present in 41.38% of cases (n=24), with skull and facial fractures being the most frequent (33.33%, n=7). Brain injuries were the most common associated injuries (42.42%, n=14). Most cases (77.59%, n=45) were discharged with an average hospital stay of 9 days. Conclusions: Abuse is prevalent among young children under 1 year and adolescents (13-18 years). Identified patterns of injuries and abuse mechanisms highlight the need for stringent screening and management protocols. Continuous training and vigilance are crucial for effective prevention and intervention.
