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

backgroundThis analysis examines the relationship between different pre-traumatic, trauma and treatment related factors and self-rated health of heavily injured patients after a severe trauma. MATERIALS &

methodsA written questionnaire was sent to 121 seriously injured patients who were predominantly hurt by traffic or work related accidents and were treated between june 1996 and july 2000 in two hospitals in North Rhine-Westphalia. Information regarding age, gender, education, occupation, income, injury severity, injury of extremities, state anxiety, date of discharge and taking part in a cognitive behavioural intervention were gathered during the inpatient stage, information about self-rated health, patients subjective evaluation of medical treatment outcome and shared decision making with physicians were gathered about four years after trauma.

resultsResults of a multivariate stepwise linear regression show that poor self-rated health is significantly associated with a negative subjective evaluation of medical treatment outcome, less shared decision making behaviour of physician, low socio-economic status and older age.

conclusionsTreatment but not trauma related factors and socio-economic and demographic characteristics of patients are significantly associated with self-rated health of severely injured patients. It seems to be important for long-term health to take into account: 1.) patient reported outcomes e.g. subjective evaluation of medical treatment outcome, 2.) shared decision making behaviour of physicians and 3.) to be aware of patients with low socio-economic status or 4.) older age as a high risk population.
