[Efficacy of x-ray assessment in emergency surgical departments: an evaluation in a level I trauma center].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to ascertain the state of the art in x-ray assessment in an emergency surgical department.
methodsFrom August 2008 to February 2009 a total of 1,588 plain x-rays of 658 patients from the emergency department were included in this study. The images were assessed by 3 experienced orthopedic surgeons and 1 experienced radiologist. The incidence of missed traumatic lesions and suspected lesions and the treatment of these patients were noted.
resultsA total of 136 pathological cases with 238 pathological x-ray findings were found. The mean rate of missed lesions was 13% of the assessed cases. Despite the fact that the rate of missed lesions varied from 9-25% depending on the level of experience, all patients were treated adequately. The quality of x-ray assessment improved with the level of training of the individual doctors.
conclusionThe present situation is in need of improvement but it is not critical. Junior medical staff should undergo a special training in x-ray assessment.
