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

Polytrauma is a rare diagnosis in childhood. Even after high-energy accidents isolated injuries of the skull and brain or extremities are more common. Injury is still the most frequent cause of death in childhood in industrialized countries. The lethality of polytraumatized children is about 19%. Injuries of the extremities do not play such an important role for the survival of polytraumatized children but for the definitive outcome. The diagnostic algorithm for polytraumatized children is related to adults and includes spiral computed tomography in the emergency room. Plain radiographs are still the gold standard for the diagnostic workup of fractures. Generally therapeutic approaches in the treatment of fractures in children are often conservative. Because of the special situation in polytrauma with ICU care and the need for venous catheters, fast mobilization and positioning in bed, indications for operative treatment and definitive stabilization of fractures are required for polytraumatized children.
