Observational study in Neurocritical care, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03616808 (The Influence of Thromboelastometry-identified Haemostatic Changes on Haemorrhagic Progression of Intracranial Injury and Clinical Outcome in Patients With Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe presence of coagulopathy is common after severe trauma. The aim of this study was to identify whether isolated severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an independent risk factor for coagulopathy.

methodsProspective observational cohort of adult patients admitted to a Level I Trauma Center within 6 h of injury. Patients were categorized according to the abbreviated injury scale (AIS): Group 1-isolated severe TBI (AIS head ≥ 3 + AIS non-head < 3); Group 2-severe multisystem trauma associated with severe TBI (AIS head ≥ 3 + AIS non-head ≥ 3); Group 3-severe multisystem trauma without TBI (AIS head < 3 + AIS non-head ≥ 3). Primary outcome was the development of coagulopathy. Secondary outcome was in-hospital mortality.

resultsThree hundred and forty five patients were included (Group 1 = 48 patients, Group 2 = 137, and Group 3 = 160). Group 1 patients had the lowest incidence of coagulopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, and in general presented with better coagulation profile measured by either classic coagulation tests, thromboelastography or clotting factors. Isolated severe TBI was not an independent risk factor for the development of coagulopathy (OR 1.06; 0.35-3.22 CI, p = 0.92), however, isolated severe TBI patients who developed coagulopathy had higher mortality rates than isolated severe TBI patients without coagulopathy (66 vs. 16.6 %, p < 0.05). The presence of coagulopathy (OR 5.61; 2.65-11.86 CI, p < 0.0001) and isolated severe TBI (OR 11.51; 3.9-34.2 CI, p < 0.0001) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality.

conclusionIsolated severe TBI is not an independent risk factor for the development of coagulopathy. However, severe TBI patients who develop coagulopathy have extremely high mortality rates.
