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

purposeTo evaluate chest injury patterns in pediatric patients involved in all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents.

methodsRetrospective review of patients 0-18 years old admitted to a level I trauma institute following an ATV-related incident from 2004 to 2013 was performed. Chest injury type, accident mechanism, driver/passenger status, and demographic and clinical data were compared between patients with and without chest injury.

resultsChest injury was present in 102 (22%) of total 455 patients. The most common chest injuries were pulmonary contusion (61%), pneumothorax (45%), and rib fracture (34%). There were no cardiac, esophageal, or tracheobronchial injuries. Pulmonary lacerations, hemothoraces, and scapular fractures were predominantly not detected on radiography and recognized on CT only (86-92%). Patients with chest injury had longer median hospital stays (3 days vs 2 days, p = 0.0054). There was no significant difference in admission to intensive care after controlling for injury severity scores in patients with chest injury compared to those without (17 vs 9). Eight patients with chest injury died (8%) compared to 2 patients without chest injury (0.6%) (p = 0.0002).

conclusionsChest injuries are common in children following ATV accidents and may be a marker of more severe trauma. Increased public awareness of these potentially devastating injuries and continuing safety efforts are needed.
