Indications and interventions of damage control orthopedic surgeries: an expert opinion survey.
Review in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to gather an expert opinion survey and to evaluate the suitability of summarized indications and interventions for DCO.
backgroundThe indications to perform temporary surgery in musculoskeletal injuries may vary during the hospitalization and have not been defined. We performed a literature review and an expert opinion survey about the indications for damage control orthopaedics (DCO).
methodsPart I: A literature review was performed on the basis of the PubMed library search. Publications were screened for damage control interventions in the following anatomic regions: "Spine", "Pelvis", "Extremities" and "Soft Tissues". A standardized questionnaire was developed including a list of damage control interventions and associated indications. Part II: Development of the expert opinion survey: experienced trauma and orthopaedic surgeons participated in the consensus process.
resultsPart I: A total of 646 references were obtained on the basis of the MeSH terms search. 74 manuscripts were included. Part II: Twelve experts in the field of polytrauma management met at three consensus meetings. We identified 12 interventions and 79 indications for DCO. In spinal trauma, percutaneous interventions were determined beneficial. Traction was considered harmful. For isolated injuries, a new terminology should be used: "MusculoSkeletal Temporary Surgery".
conclusionThis review demonstrates a detailed description of the management consensus for abbreviated musculoskeletal surgeries. It was consented that early fixation is crucial for all major fractures, and certain indications for DCO were dropped. Authors propose a distinct terminology to separate local (MuST surgery) versus systemic (polytrauma: DCO) scenarios.
