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

what is already known on this topicThe "golden hour" concept in trauma is pervasive despite little evidence to support it. WHAT QUESTION THIS STUDY ADDRESSED: Is there an association between various emergency medical services (EMS) intervals and in-hospital mortality in seriously injured adults? WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS TO OUR KNOWLEDGE: In 3,656 injured patients with substantial perturbations of vital signs or mental status, transported by 146 EMS agencies to 51 trauma centers across North America, no association was found among any EMS interval and mortality. HOW THIS MIGHT CHANGE CLINICAL PRACTICE: This study suggests that in our current out-of hospital and emergency care system time may be less crucial than once thought. Routine lights-and-sirens transport for trauma patients, with its inherent risks, may not be warranted.
