Specificities of terrorist attacks: organisation of the in-hospital patient-flow and treatment strategies.

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
backgroundMass-casualty incidents are always a particular challenge not only for healthcare providers and other emergency service responders at the scene but also for receiving hospitals. Terrorism-related mass-casualty incidents can result in a wide variety of different scenarios so that hospitals and their personnel must prepare for far more complex and demanding requirements. PURPOSE: In this article, we describe and discuss in-hospital aspects of mass-casualty terrorist incidents and focus on the special medical and in particular surgical care that is required in this setting.
methodsThe overview presented here is based on the Terror and Disaster Surgical Care (TDSC
resultsThe management of a mass-casualty terrorist incident and the care of victims present multiple and unique challenges to hospitals. This applies in particular to the number and distribution of patients arriving at the hospital, injury patterns, infrastructural aspects, and personnel resources. Particular attention must be given to the surgical approach to caring for these patients, e.g., early total care, damage control surgery, or tactical abbreviated surgical care.
conclusionMass-casualty terrorist incidents are different from other mass-casualty events in many respects that require special attention. The provision of appropriate public services requires in particular that the preparation and training of personnel as well as the organisation of the in-hospital response be tailored to the incident.
