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

Severe hemorrhagic shock is a leading cause of death among potentially salvageable casualties. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who sustained a gunshot wound to the right hemithorax and presented with class IV hemorrhagic shock. He underwent resuscitative damage control via a right posterolateral thoracotomy. Intraoperatively, the bleeding source was identified as a lacerated posterior intercostal artery at the level of the 11th dorsal vertebra. Because access to the bleeding site remained limited even after extending the incision, right thoracic packing was performed to control the hemorrhage. On reevaluation 48 hours later, no active bleeding was observed.
