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.

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.

Abstract

Traumatic injuries are a significant cause of death and disability worldwide. The vast majority of these injuries occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Attention to protocolized care and adaptations to treatments based on availability of resources, regionalization of care, and the development of centers of excellence within each LMIC are crucial to improving outcomes and lowering trauma-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Given limitations in the availability of the resources necessary to provide the levels of care found in high-income countries, strategies to prevent trauma and make the best use of available resources when prevention fails, and thus achieve the best possible outcomes for injured and critically ill children, are vital. Overall, a commitment on the part of governments in LMICs to the provision of adequate health care services to their populations will improve the outcomes of injured children. This review details the evaluation and management of traumatic injuries in pediatric patients and gives some recommendations for improvements to trauma care in LMICs.
