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

Household accidental injuries can occur via several mechanisms, but fatal penetration injuries are rare. A rare case of fatal penetration injury caused by a homemade pepper grinder is reported. The broken blades of a pepper grinder fatally injured a 72-year-old male. The blade fragments penetrated the individual's chest, injuring the aorta, the pulmonary artery and the lungs, resulting in hemorrhagic shock. The exact position of the blade was determined via postmortem computed tomography (PM-CT). This case demonstrates the injuring capacity of homemade rotating tools.
