[Interdisciplinary management in geriatric trauma surgery : Results of a survey in Austria].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 treatment of geriatric patients in the field of trauma surgery is increasingly gaining importance. To provide optimized treatment to these mostly multimorbid patients, interdisciplinary treatment concepts between trauma surgeons and geriatricians have been designed and implemented successfully.
objectivesThe aim of this survey was to evaluate the current state of interdisciplinary management in the treatment of geriatric patients on trauma surgery wards throughout Austria. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe directors of 64 Austrian trauma surgery wards were surveyed using an online-questionnaire regarding the current interdisciplinary treatment of geriatric patients.
resultsA total of 39 (61 %) questionnaires were analyzed. Of the participating wards, 20 % distinguished between geriatric and non-geriatric patients. There were various criteria to classify the patients. The average percentage of patients older than 70 years was 43 %. Of the participating wards, 26 % had established a periodical cooperation between trauma surgeons and geriatricians and 8 % of the participants stated that there is no interdisciplinary cooperation. The establishment of an interdisciplinary treatment concept in the near future was planned in 28 %. The most commonly mentioned obstacle that prevented trauma surgery wards from establishing an interdisciplinary management model was the lack of personnel resources (59 %) - especially the lack of geriatricians (62 %).
conclusionThe survey's results underline the geriatric trauma surgery's great importance especially regarding the high percentage of geriatric patients, as well as the fact that the significance of the interdisciplinary cooperation between trauma surgeons and geriatricians is not yet perceived by the majority of Austrian trauma surgery wards.
