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

aimThe aim of the study was to assess the ability of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) method to evaluate chances of survival of orthopaedic polytrauma patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsIt is a retrospective study carried out at a tertiary care teaching hospital situated in a hilly terrain. The medical records of 535 polytrauma patients admitted to ICU from January 2012 to April 2015 were examined of which only 95 were included into the study. The APACHE II scores were calculated from data at the time of admission, on day 1 after admission and on day 5. Data from casualty department was used to calculate TRISS. For each patient APACHE II and TRISS was used to calculate their probability of death. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the ability of APACHE II and TRISS to predict mortality.

resultsIn the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the areas under the curve for TRISS, APACHE II on admission and APACHE II on day one of admission scoring system was 0.831, 0.706, 0.885 respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for TRISS was 83.64 and 77.50 respectively while for APACHE II score on day one of admission was 90.91 and 72.50.

conclusionThe results from the present study showed that APACHE II score on day one of admission was relatively a better predictor than TRISS score and a far better predictor than APACHE II on admission in evaluating probability of survival of a patient.
