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

purposeHealth-related quality of life (HRQOL) is increasingly recognized as a benchmark in trauma outcome research, with few studies having evaluated the HRQOL in trauma patients. The aim of our study was to assess the change in trauma patients' HRQOL at 12 months post-injury and to describe their living situation and return to work status.

methodsA prospective cohort study was performed at a Japanese tertiary care hospital from September 2013 to September 2015. The short-form (SF-36) health survey was used at discharge, and 6 and 12 months post-injury. We obtained information regarding living situation at 12 months post-injury.

resultsComplete data were collected from 129 patients. The median age and injury severity score were 66 years 17, respectively. The physical and role-social component scores improved significantly between hospital discharge and 6 months post-injury. However, the mental component score decreased significantly during this period. There was no significant increase in any of the 3 SF-36 component scores between 6 and 12 months post-injury. At 12 months post-injury, 106 (82%) patients were independent and 15 (12%) patients were dependent on home care services. The return to work rate was 65% (47/72).

conclusionsOur study suggests that the quality-of-life of Japanese trauma patients generally improved over time, but remained lower than the Japanese national average. Most trauma patients return to home and work within 12 months post-injury.
