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

•Most spinal trauma occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), but some elements may limit the application of current guidelines.•In LMICs, a respectable proportion of physicians treating spinal trauma is not aware of any guidelines on this topic.•Most physicians managing spinal trauma in LMICs believe that following the guidelines may positively affect patient outcomes.•Most believed they have the capability to apply, the guidelines, but variation according to income and geographical region exists.•The perceived limitations and their relevance to guideline adherence vary across different income and geographic areas worldwide.•Resource-targeted guidelines for spinal trauma are considered a valuable option to overcome the limitations of real-life application of the current guidelines.
