[Anesthesiological management of elderly trauma patients].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundThe demographic change is accompanied by an increasing number of elderly trauma patients. Geriatric patients with trauma often show several comorbidities and as a result have a high perioperative risk to develop postoperative morbidity and mortality. The 30-day mortality is high.
aimThis article presents an overview of the perioperative management of elderly trauma patients in order to improve the perioperative outcome of these high risk patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsA literature search was carried out focusing on the latest developments in the field of elderly trauma patients in order to present guidance on preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative anesthesiological management.
resultsElderly trauma patients should undergo operative interventions as soon as possible. Many of these patients have a high risk profile. This can be estimated using risk scores in order to allow a prognosis for the outcome of patients. The informed consent needs to be discussed accordingly. The perioperative management is ideally addressed in a multidisciplinary approach. An array of questions in perioperative management, such as the mode of anesthesia, the ideal individual transfusion trigger and fluid management have not yet been adequately addressed in studies.
conclusionThe level of evidence in the perioperative management of elderly trauma patients is poor; therefore, there is an urgent need for large prospective studies in order to define uniform standards and guidelines.
