[Advanced Trauma Life Support--a standard of care for Germany? No substantial improvement of care can be expected].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Over the last 30 years the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course has become the most successful training program in the world for the early care of severely injured patients. It has shaped trauma care systems in many countries and is now on the verge of being introduced into Germany by the German Society of Trauma Surgery (DGU). However, after publication of the latest edition in 2004 there are rising concerns regarding the lack of multi-disciplinarity, out-dated contents and lack of adaptability to regional needs. This article questions the beneficial effect of ATLS on the advanced German trauma care system and concludes that ATLS is not likely to improve trauma care in Germany.
