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 three patients with late onset development of compartment syndrome after penetrating trauma. A 27-year-old male with a ballistic fibula fracture, a 32-year-old male with an ulnar shaft fracture from a stab wound, and a 17-year-old female with a ballistic fibula fracture. These patients developed symptoms 130, 50, and 127 h after injury, respectively, and each were found to have concomitant vascular injuries. These cases highlight the phenomenon of late onset development of compartment syndrome after penetrating trauma with concomitant vascular injury, underscoring the need for a high index of suspicion, serial exams, and patient education.
