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

Electrical brain injuries are rare and often under-reported, with most documented cases involving secondary mechanical trauma. Isolated electrical injuries to the brain remain poorly characterised. We report a case of 2-year-old girl who sustained an isolated full-thickness electrical brain injury without associated mechanical trauma. Clinical findings, neuroimaging, and surgical management were reviewed to highlight the progression and complications observed. This report aims to describe the delayed sequelae, pathophysiology, and management challenges of a full-thickness electrical brain injury in a child, and illustrates the complex and delayed pathophysiology of electrical brain injuries, in which venous thromboembolic mechanisms may contribute to secondary deterioration. Aggressive debridement of ischemic tissue during surgical intervention may improve wound healing and overall outcomes.
