Impact of Operational Theater on Combat and Noncombat Trauma-Related Infections.
Article in Military medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study began in June 2009 as combat operations were decreasing in Iraq and increasing in Afghanistan. Our analysis examines the rate of infections of wounded U.S. military personnel from operational theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan admitted to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center between June 2009 and December 2013 and transferred to a participating U.S. hospital. Infection risk factors were examined in a multivariate logistic regression analysis (expressed as odds ratios [OR]; 95% confidence intervals [CI]). The study population includes 524 wounded military personnel from Iraq and 4,766 from Afghanistan. The proportion of patients with at least one infection was 28% and 34% from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters, respectively. The incidence density rate was 2.0 (per 100 person-days) for Iraq and 2.7 infections for Afghanistan. Independent risk factors included large-volume blood product transfusions (OR: 10.68; CI: 6.73-16.95), high Injury Severity Score (OR: 2.48; CI: 1.81-3.41), and improvised explosive device injury mechanism (OR: 1.84; CI: 1.35-2.49). Operational theater (OR: 1.32; CI: 0.87-1.99) was not a risk factor. The difference in infection rates between operational theaters is primarily a result of increased injury severity in Afghanistan from a higher proportion of blast-related trauma during the study period.
