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

This overview reviews the literature on multiply injured patients with traumatic brain injuries. Clinical trials were systematically collected (MEDLINE, Cochrane, and hand searches) and classified into evidence levels (1 to 5 according to the Oxford system).A detailed analysis of the literature of traumatic brain injuries has been elaborated by the Brain Trauma Foundation and has been published in the World Wide Web (http://www2.braintrauma.org/). The following procedures should be performed in the emergency room for multiply injured patients with traumatic brain injuries: (1) recording of precise history to identify risk factors for severe traumatic brain injury, (2) measurement of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), pupillary reflex, and mean arterial pressure, (3) diagnostic evaluation with a CT scan, and (4) rapid surgical decompression if indicated.
