[Trauma centre admission of severely injured or critically ill patients: comparison of estimated and real arrival times].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2014. 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
backgroundDuring early in-hospital management of the arriving trauma patient the timing of the trauma team alert is an important organisational step. To evaluate the accordance of the estimated and the real arriving time we performed a retrospective data analysis at a level I German trauma centre.
methodsRetrospective data analysis. Trauma team alerts from September 2010 until March 2011 were analysed. According to the hospitals pre-alert algorithm, trauma team alert took place 10 min before the estimated time of arrival.
resultsThere were 165 trauma team alerts included in the analysis. The estimated arrival time coincided with the real arrival time in less than 10 % of cases. In 76 % of the cases, the patient arrived in an acceptable time frame with the trauma team waiting less than 14 min. In 3 % of the cases, the patient arrived prior to the trauma team.
conclusionAn exact estimation of the arrival time is rare. With a trauma team alert 10 min prior to the estimated time of arrival, an acceptable waiting time can be achieved. Arrival of the patient prior to the trauma team can be avoided.
