[Measurability of the quality of care of the severely injured].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The care of severely injured patients is characterized by the heterogeneity of the clinical picture and the time-critical aspects of many forms of treatment in the acute phase, so that quality measurement and assessment is always complex. In order to be able to operate a meaningful and structured quality management the quality must be validly measured and it must be defined what quality is. To handle this complex picture the quality of care for the severely injured is divided into three levels: structural quality, process quality and outcome quality. With respect to structural quality there are clear guidelines for personnel and structural equipment of hospitals for the optimal care of severely injured patients. This is regularly checked in Germany through trauma center certification as part of the TraumaNetzwerk DGU®. Process quality can also be measured in the care of severely injured patients. With the TraumaRegister DGU® annual report in 2017, 14 newly developed quality indicators were introduced. Due to the comprehensive participation of hospitals in the TraumaRegister DGU® structured external quality assurance is possible in addition to internal process analysis. With respect to the quality of the outcome patient reported outcome measures (PROM) have become increasingly more important in addition to the mortality. The PROMs that are used to assess the consequences of injuries are typically multidimensional and capture not only aspects of physical health but also enable self-assessment of the mental health status by the patient.
