Overview of Assault-Induced Trauma Presenting to a Trauma Centre in Oman.
Review in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05718154 (Comparison Between the Incidence of Assault-induced Trauma in Patients Attending to Trauma Unit in Assiut University Hospital and Trauma Unit in Suez Canal University Hospital), which is not on this 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

Abstract
objectivesAssault-induced trauma (AIT) is a public health concern that must be addressed and acknowledged. This study aimed to characterise cases of AIT presenting to Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH), Muscat, Oman.
methodsThis retrospective descriptive study included patients presenting with AIT to the emergency department of SQUH from January 2007 to December 2018. The data obtained included incidence, patients' demographics, mode of assault, triaging, management and hospital stay. The data were collected using the hospital's information system and subsequently analysed.
resultsA total of 268 cases of AIT were identified and 239 fulfilled the study criteria. The highest incidence recorded was in 2018, accounting for 72 cases. The mean incidence of AIT was 20 ± 19 per year. The sample was predominantly comprised of males (82.4%) and Omani citizens (65.3%). Most patients (66.9%) were between the ages of 20 and 39. The most common mode of assault was the use of bodily force (34.7%). Additionally, 18.4% were triaged as red cases. In terms of management, 84.5% of the cohort were treated non-surgically. No incidence of in-patient mortality was recorded.
conclusionThis study found that the rate of AIT averaged at 20 per year with most of the victims being young males. This was the first study that examined AIT in Oman and its results will aid future research and the estimation of the magnitude of this problem in the community.
