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

Hand lacerations carry a significant risk of overlooked involvement of deep-lying functional structures. Flexor and extensor tendons, digital nerves and blood vessels run immediately subcutaneously and can be completely or partially injured even with minor skin lesions. Inadequate medical history, incomplete clinical examination or failure to perform a systematic wound exploration are among the most common causes of a delayed diagnosis. This results in poorer functional outcomes, more complex secondary reconstructions and increased medico-legal risks. This CME article provides a practice-oriented overview of the structured diagnostics and management of lacerations of the hand. A particular focus is placed on wound exploration as a central diagnostic step for the reliable identification of tendon, nerve and vascular injuries. In addition, evidence-based principles of acute care, surgical treatment and early functional follow-up treatment are summarized.
