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

backgroundThe prognosis of severely injured patients depends on a rapid diagnosis and early initiation of therapeutic procedures. MATERIAL AND

methodsTo that end a total of 6,927 prospectively documented severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) > or =16 from the Trauma Registry of the German Trauma Society (DGU, 2002-2007) were analyzed with respect to time intervals during emergency trauma treatment.

resultsIn cases of indicated emergency surgery the average +/-time in the emergency department was 42+/-34 min, in cases of early surgery 75+/-41 min and in cases of transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU) 83+/-43 min, respectively. The time from the last diagnostic procedure until the end of emergency treatment was 12 min (emergency surgery), 26 min (early surgery) and 32 min (ICU), respectively. Level I (78 min) and level II (72 min) trauma centres showed similar mean times in the emergency department while level III trauma centres had a mean time of 86 min. According to this analysis no general correlation between shorter duration of emergency trauma care and reduced mortality could be observed.

conclusionThe duration of time intervals depends on injury severity, treatment after completion of emergency trauma care and the level of the trauma centre. Time management in emergency trauma care can potentially be optimized after completion of the last diagnostic procedure in the emergency room.
