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

backgroundIn patients up to the age of 40 years old severe trauma is the most frequent cause of death in Germany. According to the current S3 guidelines on treatment of polytrauma and the severely injured, since 2011 the presence of a shock room coordinator should be considered, who can improve the survival of patients by optimized treatment quality and times. The aim of the present study was to analyze various parameters of shock room treatment for polytraumatized patients before and after implementation of a shock room coordinator for treatment of polytrauma. MATERIAL AND

methodsTo ensure an adequate period of time between the implementation of the shock room coordinator in 2011, data from 2009 and 2012 were included for comparative purposes. All scanned protocols of shock room treatment in the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 and from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 were inspected and evaluated.

resultsIn total 213 shock room treatments from 2009 and 420 from 2012 were included. The mean number of shock room treatments in 2009 was 17.8 per month and in 2012 the mean number was 35 per month. The mean number of shock room treatments was nearly doubled in comparison (p < 0.001). The mean time for shock room treatment in 2009 was 74.8 min and in 2012 the mean time was 69 min and was therefore reduced by 5.8 min (p = 0.56).

conclusionThe treatment of polytraumatized patients in the presence of a shock room coordinator and after implementation of the standard operating procedure (SOP) was neither statistically nor clinically relevantly shortened.
