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

backgroundHigh-voltage electrical injury is rare but potentially fatal, often affecting multiple organs. Pulmonary haemorrhage is an exceptionally uncommon complication. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old man sustained a 100-kV electrical injury with 40% total body surface area burns. On hospital day 4, he developed acute dyspnoea and haemoptysis. Chest CT revealed rapidly progressive bilateral infiltrates, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy confirmed diffuse endobronchial haemorrhage. He received invasive mechanical ventilation, repeated bronchoscopic clearance of bloody secretions, continuous renal replacement therapy, and comprehensive intensive care. Pulmonary haemorrhage gradually resolved, and he was successfully extubated. However, on day 19, he developed massive gastrointestinal bleeding resulting in haemorrhagic shock and death despite aggressive resuscitation.

conclusionsHigh-voltage electrical injury may directly involve the lungs and cause diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage. Early recognition and prompt intervention are essential to improve outcomes.
