Age differences in blunt chest trauma: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionTrauma is the most common cause of presentation to hospital emergency services. After extremity and cranial injuries, blunt thoracic trauma is the third most common injury.
aimIn this study, we aimed to present and assess blunt chest trauma in adults aged below 65 and elderly (age ≥ 65). MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this study, 130 patients (86 young (age 18-64) and 44 elderly (age ≥ 65)) who applied to the emergency department with blunt thoracic trauma between October 2017 and October 2019 were evaluated retrospectively.
resultsOf the patients, 99 (76.1%) were male, and 31 (23.9%) were female. The mean age was 54.41 ±20.13 years, and the patients were between 18 and 95 years of age. The most common cause of blunt thoracic trauma in the elderly group was a fall (
conclusionsDue to its life-threatening properties, the detection of blunt thorax trauma is a priority among multiple-trauma patients. For this reason, an aggressive diagnosis and treatment approach is essential in the whole patient group, especially among the elderly.
