1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute medical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be challenging outside of the resuscitation bay, specifically while obtaining a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain. We sought out to determine the management practices of Canadian traumatologists for pediatric patients with severe TBI requiring CT in the emergency department (ED). In 2019, surveys were sent to trauma directors in hospitals across Canada to ascertain their clinical practices. Team members present in the CT scan included physicians (89%), registered nurses (100%), and respiratory therapists (38%). The average time to and from the CT scanner was one hour. Over half of respondents (56%) had experienced an adverse event in CT with variable access (11-56%) to necessary resuscitation equipment and medications. Significant hypotension (44%) was the most common adverse event experienced. With the exception of an end tidal CO
