Comparison of pre-PICU and per-PICU interventions, clinical features and neurologic outcomes of motor vehicle collision trauma and other mechanisms of trauma in children.

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
backgroundMotor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are the number one cause of death in the pediatric age group. The aim of this study was to determine the differences between MVCs and other trauma mechanisms (OTMs) in patients who were followed up at a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
methodsData were retrospectively collected for pediatric trauma patients hospitalized at a third level PICU between 2014 and 2018. Patients have been divided into two groups as MVC and OTM. Demographic data, pre-PICU interventions (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation, injury severity scores, time period before intensive care), intensive care interventions (invasive mechanical ventilation, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, need for surgery, type of surgery, need for transfusion, and inotrope therapy) were compared between two groups. Outcomes were evaluated by survival, discharge from hospital, Pediatric Cerebral Performance Cate-gory (PCPC) at discharge, tracheotomy presence, and amputation performed.
resultsDuring the 5-year study period, 135 patients were hospitalized for trauma. The injured body regions were the head and neck (61.5%), abdomen and lumbar spine (39.4%), and extremities and pelvis (36.3%). Multiple trauma was mostly seen in the MVC trauma group (p=0.001). The need for invasive mechanical ventilation and inotrope therapy was greater in the MVC group (p=0.002, 0.001 respectively). One hundred and twenty-three patients (91.1%) survived. The mortality rate was higher in the MVC group (p=0.026). The PCPC results were better in the OTM group (p=0.017).
conclusionMVCs lead to more multiple trauma cases than OTMs. Invasive mechanical ventilation, inotropes, and other inten-sive care interventions were necessary much more often in MVC victims than in OTM patients.
