1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Because few studies have assessed blood alcohol concentration (BAC)-positive risk conditions in trauma activation patients, this retrospective investigation pursued such an analysis. The parent database included consecutive trauma center admissions from January 21 to July 21 for 2018-2020. The supplementary electronic medical record audit of trauma activation patients aged 18-60 years (TA18-60) assessed alcohol misuse, smoking history, and serum bicarbonate levels. An alcohol misuse risk score was created by assigning a value of 0 (no) or 1 (yes) for each risk condition: 1) smoking history, 2) BAC-positive status, 3) BAC ≥ 100 mg/dL with Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS) ≥ 13, 4) age ≥ 40 years, and 5) bicarbonate level ≥ 20 mmol/L in BAC-positive patients and summing the total score (range, 0-5). Of 2,076 patients, BAC testing occurred in 60.9% (n = 1,265). BAC positivity was greater in TA18-60 (36.9%) than in other patients (20.8%;
