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

The revised trauma score combined with the Injury Severity Score (ISS) remains the mostly commonly used system for predicting trauma mortality, but these scoring systems do not account for the patient's comorbidities. This study aims to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on ISS-related mortality and length of stay. A review of our trauma center's data registry from 2014 to 2016 was carried out. Patients were divided according to ISS into two groups: ISS ≤ 15 and ISS > 15. Each ISS group was then subdivided by number of comorbidities into two groups: 1 to 2 or ≥3 comorbidities. Demographic characteristics and outcome measures were compared. ANOVA, chi-squared, and
