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

Due to the nature of the profession, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a prevalent problem in forensic practice, especially in patients who have been hospitalized following severe injuries that required extended hospital stays, which often include surgery. Nevertheless, some of these patients also have underlying medical conditions. When a patient passes away and a complex pathology is discovered, it can be challenging to determine the cause of death and how each condition contributed to the death process. We present three cases from our practice that illustrate our approach to managing cases with multifactorial pathology.
