[Trauma to the thoracic spine and chest].
Review in Der Radiologe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe assessment of traumatic lesions to the chest and thoracic spine can pose a challenge for the emergency radiologist. Collaboration with the treating clinicians and knowledge of the patients' history and the trauma mechanism are essential. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL
methodsIn case of minor trauma, digital radiography may be sufficient for diagnosis. For the diagnostic work-up of polytrauma patients, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is the most important modality due to its broad availability and higher sensitivity. The chest has to be completely contained within the scan volume to be able to adequately analyze the bony structures and thoracic spine. Reconstruction in three planes and multiplanar reconstruction are prerequisite for a correct diagnosis and further therapy planning. PERFORMANCE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) serves as a third level diagnostic modality in special cases. MRI can demonstrate bone marrow edema of vertebral bodies or other bones. In addition, the myelon and the epidural space are best assessed with MRI.
resultIn this article, the most relevant knowledge for the diagnostic work-up of traumatic lesions of the bony chest and the thoracic spine is summarized.
