Treatment Experiences of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients using Doctor-Helicopter Emergency Medical Service: Early Data in a Regional Trauma Center.
Article in Korean journal of neurotrauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to analyze the results of doctor helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and to understand the effect and improvement of doctor HEMS.
methodsWe included TBI patients transferred by doctor HEMS of our hospital between February 2016 and December 2017. Basic characteristics, HEMS data, treatment and results data were analyzed retrospectively. We divided the patients into 3 groups as regarding severity of patient, relevance of treatment and transfer. We investigated the preventable trauma death rate (PTDR) of these groups to increase the reliability of the treatment outcome.
resultsTBI patients using doctor HEMS were indicated in 98 patients (18.7%) among 522 overall HEMS patients. The overall mortality was consisted in 21.4% and 43.2% was resulted in Glasgow outcome scale 4 or 5. The group of proper transport and treatment for severe TBI was consisted in 62.2% including 13 mortality cases and no preventable death. The group of delayed transport or treatment for severe TBI was 18.3% including 8 mortality cases and 1 preventable death. The PTDR of TBI after doctor HEMS was significantly lower than that of overall TBI (4.8% vs. 11.6%,
conclusionIn patients with severe TBI, doctor HEMS can improve treatment outcomes by reducing treatment delay and unnecessary examinations and this result was evidenced that the PTDR were decreased significantly after doctor HEMS transport. The appropriate treatment is mandatory for real-time communication with the emergency doctor and treatment preparation of the trauma team during the HEMS transport.
