Transport of the patient with trauma: a narrative review.
Review in Anaesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Trauma and injury place a significant burden on healthcare systems. In most high-income countries, well-developed acute pre-hospital and trauma care systems have been established. In Europe, mobile physician-staffed medical teams are available for the most severely injured patients and apply a wide variety of lifesaving interventions at the same time as ensuring patient comfort. In trauma systems providing pre-hospital care, medical interventions are performed earlier in the patient journey and do not affect time to definite care. The mode of transport from the accident scene depends on the organisation of the healthcare system and the level of hospital care to which the patient is transported. This varies from 'scoop and run' to a basic community care setting, to advanced helicopter emergency medical service transport to a level 4 trauma centre. Secondary transport of trauma patients to a higher level of care should be avoided and may lead to a delay in definitive care. Critically injured patients must be accompanied by at least two healthcare professionals, one of whom must be skilled in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced airway management techniques. Ideally, the standard of care provided during transport, including the level of monitoring, should mirror hospital care. Pre-hospital care focuses on the critical care patient, but the majority of injured patients need only close observation and pain management during transport. Providing comfort and preventing additional injury is the responsibility of the whole transport team.
