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[corrected] Severe injury leads to a severe deterioration of the patients' immune response. The changes of the immune response after severe injury include a broad range of immune functions and may result in a status of immunosuppression, which could favor infectious complications. Therefore, immunostimulating therapies have been introduced in the therapy for severely injured patients in clinical and experimental settings.

objectivesThe article summarizes actual immunomodulating approaches in the treatment of trauma patients and therapeutic strategies avoiding additional immune deteriorations.

resultsExamples for an immunostimulating approach in trauma patients are interferon gamma and the granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which are summarized in this review in detail. However, the effect of such an interference in the patients' immune response with all its different cellular targets is not yet clearly understood, and most studies focus on the reaction of circulating monocytes. In addition, further immunomodulating strategies, including nutritional support, are addressed. However, clinically established therapeutic immunomodulating strategies in trauma care so far do not exist. The impact of the accidental and also an additional surgical trauma on the immune response has been clearly demonstrated. Therefore, the idea of a "damage control orthopedic surgery" (DCOS) is not only necessary to prevent further deterioration of the homeostasis of, e.g., the coagulating system, but is also desirable in terms of minimizing the burden on the immune system. In addition, also the timing of secondary surgical treatment in trauma patient care should include an evaluation of the immune response, although the most reliable markers still need to be identified.

conclusionImmunomodulating therapies in trauma patients exist on an experimental level with inconsistent results. The general management of trauma patients includes strategies that have been developed also on the basis of immunological considerations.
