Epidemiological profile of chest trauma and predictive factors for length of hospital stay in a hospital in Southern Brazil.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. 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
introductionThoracic trauma is one of the most common types, corresponding to 10% of the traumas admitted in emergency services.
objectiveTo analyse epidemiologic aspects of patients diagnosed with chest trauma in a hospital at the south of Brazil and its predictive factor for prolonged length of stay.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort involving patients who were victims of chest trauma. They were described by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) from S20 to S29 admited in a regional hospital in Southern Brazil, from January 2008 to December 2018. The analysed variables were: sex, age, ICD, type of trauma, complication, need for intensive care unit (ICU), mechanical ventilation (MV) and oxygen therapy (O
results121 patients were evaluated, with median age 47.0 (35-0-58.5) years, where 84.3% being of them were male. Blunt trauma had a higher prevalence with 85.1%, with the most frequent complication being spine fractures (30.4%), followed by rib fractures (23.2%) and pneumothorax (16.8%). There was need of ICU in 14%, use of O
conclusionMost of the victims were male young adults with low mortality. The TTSS and ISS were found to be adequate predictors of prolonged length of stay.
