[Importance of air ambulances for the care of the severely injured].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn the late 1960s, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) were established because of the increasing number of severely injured in road traffic accidents. It was initially thought to bring the doctor to the patient quickly.
aimToday, the rescue helicopter covers the entire field of emergency medicine. By analyzing the databases of the TraumaRegister DGU® (2005-2011), the importance of the HEMS for the treatment of the severely injured was examined.
resultsThe results showed that around 30 % of severely injured are allocated to hospitals by HEMS. In addition to regional differences, the level of the hospital also plays a particularly important role. The combination of the transfer by HEMS and treatment in a level I trauma center has a significantly positive effect on the survival rate of the patient, especially in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
