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

We report a rare case of intravascular migration of a cutter knife blade after penetrating chest trauma. A 40-year-old man presented with lower abdominal pain 3 months after an unreported occupational injury to the left anterior chest wall. Computed tomography scan revealed a plate-like foreign body embedded in the distal abdominal aorta and a localized hematoma adjacent to the cardiac apex. The blade was successfully removed during semi-emergent abdominal aortic replacement. This case highlights the potential for delayed migration of sharp intravascular foreign bodies and the importance of whole body imaging in patients with atypical symptoms after penetrating trauma.
