Foley Catheter Balloon Tamponade for Actively Bleeding Wounds Following Penetrating Neck Injury is an Effective Technique for Controlling Non-Compressible Junctional External Haemorrhage.

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
backgroundThe foley catheter balloon tamponade (FCBT) has been widely employed in the management of trauma. This study reviews our cumulative experience with the use of FCBT in the management of patients presenting with a penetrating neck injury (PNI).
methodsA retrospective study was conducted at a major trauma centre in South Africa over a 9-year period from January 2012 to December 2020. All patients who presented with a PNI who had FCBT were included.
resultsA total of 1581 patients with a PNI were managed by our trauma centre, and 44 (3%) patients had an FCBT. Of the 44 cases of FCBT, stab wounds accounted for 93% (41/44) and the remaining 7% were for gunshot wounds. Seventy-five per cent of all FCBT (33/44) were inserted at a rural hospital prior to transfer to our trauma centre; the remaining 25% (11/44) were inserted in our resuscitation room. The success rate of FCBT was 80% (35/44), allowing further CT with angiography (CTA) to be performed. CTA findings were: 10/35 (29%) positive, 18/35 (51%) negative, and 7/35 (20%) equivocal. Fifteen patients required additional intervention (open surgery or endovascular intervention). The overall morbidity was 14% (6/44). Eighteen per cent required intensive care unit admission. The median length of stay was 1 day. The overall mortality rate was 11% (5/44).
conclusionFCBT is a simple and effective technique as an adjunct in the management of major haemorrhage from a PNI. In highly selective patients, it may also be used as definitive management.
