Predictors for Pediatric Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury (BCVI): An International Multicenter Analysis.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPractice guidelines for adult BCVI patients have been implemented recently, but data for this devastating injury pattern in children are still limited. An international multicenter analysis was performed to characterize BCVI in the pediatric population.
methodsThe TraumaRegister DGU
resultsThe study cohort included 8128 pediatric trauma patients. We identified 48 BCVIs in 42 children, resulting in an overall prevalence of 0.5%. Carotid injuries were diagnosed more frequently (n = 30; 0.4%) when compared to VAIs (n = 12; 0.1%). The coincidence of head (p = 0.028), facial (p ≤ 0.001), chest (p ≤ 0.001), and spinal injuries (p ≤ 0.001) was higher in BCVI patients. The risk for thromboembolic complications (8.3% vs. 1%, p = 0.026) and in-hospital mortality (38.1% vs. 7.7%, p ≤ 0.001) was excessive in children with BCVI. We identified various predictors for pediatric BCVI and quantified the cumulative impact of these risk factors.
conclusionBCVI is more uncommon in pediatric than in adult trauma patients. Due to the considerable relevance of this injury for both children and adults, special attention should be paid to this entity and associated complications in the early treatment phase after severe pediatric trauma, especially in high-risk children.
