Predicting Suitable Percutaneous Endovascular Arterial Embolization for Traumatic Abdominopelvic Injuries: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
Purpose: This study evaluated the pre-procedural attributes of trauma patients to determine their suitability to undergo Percutaneous Endovascular Arterial Embolization (PEAE), and the current state of endovascular repair as an option for trauma-related injuries in traumatic abdominopelvic arterial injuries was explored. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the charts of 638 adults with traumatic abdominopelvic injuries treated from March 2011 to February 2021, extensively reviewing their pre-operative indices, pre-operative optimization requirements, and multi-modality imaging records. Results: In total, 235 patients (30.63%) were "hemodynamically unstable" on admission, mainly due to hypotension (n=437 [68.5%]). Additionally, laboratory-defined acquired coagulopathies and inherited bleeding disorders were found in 268 patients (42.01%). The computerized tomography bleeding protocol was performed on 408 (63.94%) patients. Percutaneous endovascular therapy by arterial embolization was performed on 146 patients. The mean number of requested pre-intervention blood units for trauma patients significantly exceeded the number of units transfused post-intervention ( Conclusion: Despite the recommendations from the Society of Interventional Radiology on endovascular intervention for trauma and bleeding risk, 36.84% of study patients had hemodynamic instability and other unfeasible parameters that would limit the option of minimally invasive procedures. Early recognition and consideration of suitable treatment options is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. It is imperative that standardized algorithms and management protocols based on available resources be developed.
