Grade four blunt traumatic aortic injury with massive haemothorax: Resuscitation considerations during the primary survey.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Advanced Trauma Life Support principles prioritise the management of 'breathing' over 'circulation' in an acute trauma primary survey. In a tamponaded thoracic aortic rupture, however, this may lead to fatal haemorrhagic shock. In this case, we discuss the resuscitation and management of a patient with a massive left sided haemothorax secondary to a grade four blunt traumatic aortic injury. A 26-year-old male was involved in a high-speed motor vehicle crash and was hypoxic and hypotensive at the scene. His oxygenation and haemodynamics improved with supplemental oxygen and fluid resuscitation. He had a left intercostal catheter inserted after an urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed to prevent disruption of the contained haemothorax in the presence of a grade four thoracic aortic injury. It is vital to recognise the potential disruption of a tamponaded blunt traumatic aortic injury during consideration of thoracostomy and chest drain decompression.
