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

Major incidents are serious events with broad-reaching consequences that require extraordinary solutions to be implemented. They call for a team-based approach and efficient communication at all levels in addition to effective command, control and oversight. While consolidation of care into major trauma centres has led to improved outcomes for patients, it also means that clinicians may miss out on real-life experience of major incident or severe trauma casualties. It is therefore important to factor training, exercises and planning into individual and organizational preparedness. While several recent major incidents have occurred and provided further experience and lessons, such as the Grenfell Fire, Manchester Arena bombings and London Bridge stabbings, the global COVID-19 pandemic has required clinicians and organizations around the world to re-examine major incidents and the extent of their impacts. This has reinforced the importance of all members of the clinical team possessing an appropriate level of awareness and understanding of major incidents.
