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

Background: Extravasation of intravenous agents can lead to severe tissue injury, including necrosis and compartment syndrome, sometimes necessitating complex surgical intervention. Identifying factors that predict poor outcomes is crucial for guiding management. This study aimed to determine predictors of severe complications in patients with extravasation injuries referred for plastic surgery consultation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center analysis of 37 patients who required non-conservative management for extravasation injuries between 2014 and 2024. The primary outcome was the development of a any complication that requires surgical treatment like skin necrosis or compartment syndrome. A Bayesian logistic regression model was employed to identify predictive factors, including the use of a subcutaneous wash-out procedure, catheter type, and agent type (vesicant vs. irritant vs. not harmful). Results: The subcutaneous wash-out procedure was strongly associated with a reduced likelihood of severe complications. All other independent variables like days from incident to referral to plastic surgery, Volume administered and type of extravasated agent were not significant. Conclusion: In this cohort of severe extravasation injuries requiring surgical consultation, the use of subcutaneous wash-out was associated with fewer severe complications accountable to its protective effect as well as correct patient selection as subcutaneous wash-out is not suitable for the treatment of necrosis or infection.
