Changes of serum trace elements in early stage trauma and its correlation with injury severity score.
Trial report in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSevere trauma can cause secondary multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. The absolute and relative concentrations of trace elements in both critical care and conventional treatment, which can lead to acute trace element deficiency, constitute an important mechanism of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)/multiple organ failure (MOF).
methodsWe investigated the changes in serum Cu, Zn, and Fe in early stage trauma of patients with the high injury severity score (ISS) and correlated the change in trace elements with ISS. Blood samples were collected within an hour of admittance and the patients were scored according to ISS. We collected clinical data records and ISS score values, and determined serum Fe, Zn, and Cu by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
resultsCompared with the control group, the serum Zn and Fe values of trauma patients were decreased. There was no significant difference in serum Cu between the patients and the control group. In the trauma group, the serum Zn and Fe were lower than that of the minor injury group, and the difference of Cu concentration was not statistically significant.
conclusionsSerum Zn and Fe levels in patients with multiple trauma fractures were significantly different than those in the normal group, suggesting that Zn and Fe need to be monitored in the early stage of trauma.
